M&A Deal Failures - December 12, 2018

Spiking M&A Deal Failures: Predicting Abandoned Acquisitions

 Sponsored by Bloomberg and Ankura, Axiom, Globalization Partners, ShiftCentral and UnitedLex
In 2017, announced cross-border mergers & acquisitions failed at a rate of 7.2%, the highest in almost a decade. The changes in the regulatory environment are one factor, especially in relation to the cancellation of cross-border deals. For instance, antitrust concerns led to the failure of the proposed Aetna/Humana merger in 2017. More than $2.5 trillion in M&A deals were announced in the first half of 2018 alone, demonstrating that attorneys need to understand how to better predict what deals might be abandoned so that they are better prepared for all possible merger outcomes.
Join us for this 60-minute webinar where our panelists will discuss what types of cross-border M&A deals are at risk, early warning signs to look for and strategies for turning around an at-risk deal. Our panelists will also discuss how to use legal technology to predict more efficiently and what the future could hold for the regulatory environment.
Educational Objectives:
● The impact of a changing regulatory environment on failed acquisitions;
● The types of M&A deals most likely to be abandoned;
● Tips for using tech and data solutions to analyze failure likelihood;
● Tactics to help prevent a deal from failing.

    You and #MeToo - On Demand

    You and #MeToo
    Sponsored by Bloomberg Law

    After being fed in its infancy by media coverage, the #MeToo movement is now consuming media companies of all sizes, with nearly daily reports of sexual harassment charges. The media industry is hardly unique in that regard, but the impact can be greater in media, where the target of a complaint may not only be a public face of the company, but one of its principal products as well. What might be a simple employment action for other businesses can be akin to shutting down a product line for a media company.
    Regardless, it is guaranteed to be a high-profile, carefully scrutinized process that is part crisis management, part employment law, and part public relations. For all involved, it can be handled well…or poorly, exposing the company to liability from complainants, accused employees, and shareholders.

    Effective Regulatory Response - On Demand

    Seven Steps to Effective Regulatory Response 

    Sponsored by Zapproved
    Although the material does not specifically mention CLEs, one of the presenters is senior counsel at Dentons, which is California pre-approved MCLE provider no. 2773
    Learn the seven steps to effective regulatory response and be prepared to respond quickly to ensure compliance.
    Regulatory agencies such as the SEC and CFTC can initiate an investigation into business activity at any time, bringing challenges beyond those of typical ediscovery. Regulatory investigations often relate to unclear charges, make broad and sweeping data requests under unrealistically tight timelines, and bear severe consequences for noncompliance. Organizations need to be prepared to identify, preserve, and analyze relevant information rapidly and accurately.
    In this webinar, Zapproved will discuss seven clear, actionable steps to launch a successful regulatory response. These steps start with strategizing and preserving data before moving into assessing information, negotiating the terms of the request, creating privilege logs, and keeping the lines of communication open.
    Any organization subject to regulatory oversight could be investigated at any time. Prepare today so you can face tomorrow with confidence
