We didn’t even sign yet: navigating pre-signing dispute risks in M&A deals
Friday 7 February (1030 - 1145)
Description
Even unsigned deals can spark intense disputes if the discussions turn sour. This panel will explore various pre-signing dispute risks, including the sudden termination of discussions, pre-signing misrepresentations and issues arising in connection with deals subject to employee consultations. Attendees will leave with actionable insights into best practices for effectively managing the pre-signing process and minimising risks, even with the most litigious counterparty.
