ACC NCR Roundtable: Pre- and Post-M&A Integration Speed Bumps

The increased pace of M&A transaction timelines and the demand to realize near-term economic and strategic benefits from acquisitions has placed a premium on effective acquisition integration.  Both prior to and after the acquisition, legal counsel face a number of challenges related to integration, made more complex and taxing by the demands of closing the transaction itself and a host of potential differences between the companies’ operations, policies, plans and systems.

This interactive roundtable will both identify and discuss solutions and risk mitigation strategies for the “speed bumps” that can challenge successful M&A integration.  Areas to be addressed include: Employment and Labor; Tech, IT Systems and IP Issues; Corporate Governance; Branding; Compliance Policies; Customer Relationship and Continuity; and Residual Purchase Agreement Issues (including post-closing purchase price adjustment processes and indemnity issues).  

This free-flowing discussion format will enable in-house counsel an opportunity to hear from veterans of numerous M&A integration processes, as well as share their own insights, expertise and experience.
