Learn to confidently structure, negotiate and close a deal that meets your client’s goals.

The M&A market is increasingly demanding and complex. You must have a clear and practical understanding of how to navigate the vital issues that arise during transactions. Get the tools and tactics you need to execute the deal on time and manage risks with this unique and highly praised program.

Now in its 12th edition, this intensive boot camp from Osgoode Professional Development is designed to teach legal professionals and advisors the skills they need to run an M&A transaction from its inception through to closing. The program is taught by leading practitioners, using practical examples, templates and precedents to guide your learning, and ends with a corporate acquisition case study to bring together everything you will learn in a practical application.

If you are a legal or business professional directly involved in transactions, or advise on certain aspects of them, you will benefit from nationally and internationally recognized speakers examining the latest deal trends, structures, pitfalls and opportunities in M&A.

You’ll come away from the program with a comprehensive understanding of the key principles and techniques you must know in order to anticipate and confidently deal with issues that may arise in a negotiated transaction.

Registration includes 120-day unlimited, online access to the recorded program.
