Due diligence carried out by potential acquirers in order to analyse the conditions of the businesses they intend to buy frequently involve various legal practice areas, as well as other experts, often in various countries working simultaneously. Well conducted due diligence processes tend to bring clarity to parties involved in transactions, thereby mitigating the risk of litigation post-closing emerging between buyers and sellers and contributing to successful post-closing integration of targets into acquirers. Join members of the ongoing IBA Legal Due Diligence Special Project to discuss topics such as advising buyers vs. sellers, coordinating due diligence processes in multiple jurisdictions, human rights and social due diligence, avoiding inappropriate information flows, managing and motivating due diligence teams, using artificial intelligence, and complying with international sanctions. The panel will also identify key principles and useful methodologies for other stakeholders who undertake due diligence outside a classic M&A scenario as a way of identifying and mitigating legal, regulatory and business risks.
