The M&A Process Step by Step: A Practical Guide for Junior Legal Counsels

In collaboration with the IBJ-IJE

We are pleased to invite you to a practical webinar designed for junior legal counsels seeking to deepen their understanding of mergers and acquisitions. Whether you are at the beginning of your career in corporate law or looking to strengthen your grasp of the M&A process, this session will offer concrete, practice‑oriented insights drawn from real transaction experience.

Throughout the webinar, we will guide you through the key stages of a typical M&A transaction — from the initial engagement of advisers to the closing of the deal. Rather than focusing on theory, our objective is to equip you with practical tools and skills that will enable you to contribute effectively from day one on a transaction.

The presentation will address several hands‑on topics of particular relevance to junior counsel:

• an overview of the deal process;
• negotiating engagement terms with investment banks;
• the practical and legal challenges of preparing and managing a data room;
• and finally, the most heavily negotiated provisions of a share purchase agreement, with a focus on pricing mechanisms and limitations of the seller’s liability.
