ACC NCR: Impacts on the 2023 M&A and Deals Market

The M&A Practice has witnessed sweeping changes in the past year. This session will look at how these changes, court decisions and the market volatility have impacted the M&A and Deals market. Topics will include Rep and Warranty Insurance, discussing what's still the same and what's different and the current state of the market for insurance.

The panel will also discuss Corporate Governance in the context of acquisitions and other changes to board of director duties, such as the Caremark decision that has eroded business judgment protection. Additionally, we will discuss how board members are being held accountable for failing to adopt strong compliance programs in areas like FDA compliance for biohealth companies or cyber security policies for all companies.

Presented by Greg Giammittorio and Jodi Arganbright, Partners at Potomac Law Group, James J. Wallace, Executive Director and General Counsel, Strategic Missile Defense at Raytheon Technologies and James Marky, Associate General Counsel – M&A/Corporate Transactions at Booz Allen Hamilton.
