M&A English Negotiation Workshop - Monroe-Sheridan Foreign Law Office

English M&A Negotiation Workshop

2016 English M&A Negotiation Workshop

Overview

We are pleased to announce that we will be offering the English M&A negotiation workshop again in 2016. The workshop is designed for Japanese legal professionals who want to:

improve their knowledge of English language contracts generally;
improve their knowledge of global M&A market practice;
improve their English language negotiation skills; and
improve their English language legal drafting abilities.

Instructor

Reid Monroe-Sheridan will lead the workshop.

Format

There will be two types of workshop sessions: informational sessions and negotiation sessions.

Each informational session will focus on a specific M&A topic such as representations and warranties, earn-outs, or covenants. The week following each informational session, there will be a negotiation session where the instructor and participants will engage in a series of negotiation and drafting exercises to reinforce and immediately apply the information from the previous session.

Workshop Materials

Real M&A Agreements

We will work from real M&A agreements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission to make the learning experience as practical as possible.

Summary Handouts

You will receive a summary handout of each informational session for easy reference.

Drafting Exercises

Practical drafting exercises based on real M&A contracts will be used as the basis for each negotiation and drafting session.

Negotiation Videos

Select videos will be used to demonstrate negotiation techniques used by American lawyers and businesspeople.

Location

The workshop will be held in Toranomon at Monroe-Sheridan Foreign Law Office.
