BLG has launched an insightful resource that discusses the key facets of negotiating and completing an M&A deal—M&A Building Blocks.
This resource features a series of articles that provide an in-depth look into different aspects of M&A transactions from start to finish, such as confidentiality agreements, negotiating deal protections and advising special committees.
