Study

This seminar is designed to provide students with a core foundation of practical knowledge and skills to succeed as an M&A lawyer. The course will involve interactive discussions focused on relevant, real-world M&A topics, a negotiation simulation, and hands-on assignments designed to mirror the types of things young M&A lawyers will be asked to do.

Enrollment Pre-/Co- Requisite Information

Students must have previously completed either (1) Law 210, Business Associations or (2) any introductory course on business organizational law/company law taken at another law school as part of a degree program, whether in the United States or abroad. (For the sake of clarity, we assume that foreign LLM students with an interest in corporate, securities, or transactional law have already satisfied option (2) and are therefore automatically eligible to enroll in this course without requiring any pre-authorization.) Students who take this course may not take (or have taken) Law 336, Mergers & Acquisitions at Duke Law.
