Description:
The objective of this seminar is to provide an introduction to investment banking and
private equity. We will discuss the players, the industry and how investment banking
and private equity provide capital to public and private companies. Using case studies
and examples of recent transactions, we will discuss the background, process and “art”
of deals involving investment bankers and private equity professionals.
We will spend time discussing the intersection of investment banking, private equity
and corporate law in the context of transactions. What are the respective roles of the
lawyers and bankers? How do lawyers and bankers work together with mutual clients
on deals on issues like fiduciary duty, valuation, disclosure and regulation?
The seminar will require some interest – though not necessarily a background – in basic
finance. We will spend time on financing, accounting and valuation concepts that are
helpful for both bankers and lawyers to know in the context of a transactional practice.
