Mergers and Acquisitions
Vice Chancellor Leo E. Strine, Jr.
2 classroom credits LAW-43900A Fall

This course, taught by a member of the Delaware Court of Chancery, will focus on the state law affecting corporate mergers and acquisitions, and also touch on the emerging issues arising out of international M&A deals. It will also deal substantially with merger agreements, considered as contracts, and with the business and legal factors that contributed to the spate of so-called "broken deals" during the front end of the current economic crisis. The course will have a practical bent and will address the real-world problems faced by parties contemplating, attempting, or resisting acquisitions, as well as the policy dilemmas faced by courts called upon to assess such transactions. To further this goal, several classes will involve the participation of leading practitioners.
