Cer­ti­fi­ca­te cour­se M&A 2020 at the West­pha­li­an Wil­helms-Uni­ver­si­ty Müns­ter in coope­ra­ti­on with Jur­Grad gGmbH

Tues­day 23 — Satur­day, 27 June 2020

The cour­se pro­vi­des the basics for suc­cessful­ly per­forming M&A tran­sac­tions. It is aimed at new­co­mers and pro­fes­sio­nals with up to three years of pro­fes­sio­nal expe­ri­ence, from all are­as of M&A prac­ti­ce. But even par­ti­ci­pan­ts who alre­a­dy have expe­ri­ence with M&A tran­sac­tions can deepen their know­ledge in indi­vi­du­al are­as. The prac­ti­ce lec­tu­r­ers are acti­ve in lea­ding law firms and manage­ment con­sul­tants spe­cia­li­sing in M&A and explain the actu­al, legal and eco­no­mic basis of the com­pany’s purcha­se in both theo­re­ti­cal and at the hig­hest level in prac­ti­cal terms. The cour­se focu­ses on the topics of cor­po­ra­te valua­ti­on, due dili­gence, M & A insu­rance and com­pa­ny purcha­se agree­ment. Atten­ti­on is also paid to the area of public take­over law. Take­over offers, squeeze out and delis­ting are pre­sen­ted. The Distres­sed M & A divi­si­on is a fur­ther focus of the cour­se in order to shed light on the spe­cial fea­tures of the com­pany’s fre­quent purcha­se of com­pa­nies from insol­ven­cy, which is com­mon in prac­ti­ce. The topic of manage­ment par­ti­ci­pa­ti­on rounds off the pro­gram of the cour­se.
