Mergers & Acquisitions in an Unpredictable Environment

THIS EVENT IS A WEBINAR.

WHY YOU SHOULD ATTEND

M&A has long been a consideration for growing businesses, whether as a means for founders to exit and realise the fruits of their hard work or for businesses to expand inorganically, to new markets or territories.

In the current COVID-19 environment, M&A either presents even more opportunities or for some businesses a necessity, as some look to take advantage of depressed valuations or distressed opportunities, and others find themselves facing the prospect of having to sell out. 

But is M&A always the right answer at times like this? 

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

1. Key considerations in planning for, negotiating, executing and completing an M&A deal, primarily from a sell-side perspective, and looked at through the lens of operations and strategy, talent and personnel and legal.
2. Criteria for deciding whether or not to sell, how to distinguish between a good deal and a bad deal, and how to target and work with a potential buyer.
3. What buyers and sellers alike are most likely to be looking for and are or should be, less concerned about.
4. Any particular considerations that are less relevant or exacerbated by the current economic and market circumstances.
5. Over and beyond the actual transaction itself, the implications (immediate and longer term) of not having a robust People strategy before, during and even after the transaction – and how to mitigate a "human talent drain" when selling / buying a business.
