Description
Investment bankers are often leaders, advisors, brokers and our partners in M&A transactions.
How should clients and lawyers think about their role?
How can they best further the client's objectives and what problems should be anticipated?
When should they have liability and should they be thought of as fiduciaries?
How should boards of directors think about potential conflicts of interests?
What level of board engagement and process is needed to oversee and monitor advisors?
Are fairness opinions a good thing?
This panel of global experts and bankers will examine how these issues play out multi-jurisdictional deals, with recommendations for best practices.
