The International Bar Association will hold an online briefing on managing cross-border mergers and acquisitions amid geopolitical and regulatory uncertainty on 4 December.
The programme examines valuation gaps, acquisition financing and alternative funding, foreign investment and subsidy scrutiny, merger control, and the allocation of transaction risk. It will also consider conditions to completion, termination rights during extended interim periods, and the use of artificial intelligence in deal work.
Speakers include Rabindra Jhunjhunwala of Khaitan & Co, Susanna Berger of KKR, Daniel Brass of Davis Polk, Catriona Hatton of Baker Botts, James Robinson of JP Morgan and Sally Wokes of Slaughter and May.
For Indian corporate counsel and transaction lawyers, the discussion is relevant to coordinating approvals across jurisdictions and negotiating protections where completion may take longer than expected.
The IBA’s official programme limits registration to 1,000 participants and asks applicants to book only if they intend to attend. Booking requires an existing IBA account or creation of an account; non-members may register.
