For any dynamic business, expansion and growth are key factors in building future profits. But such strategies - whether through global expansion, the development of key alliances or the acquisition of vital intellectual property - can carry major risks, and while the benefits of acquiring a new company or merging with another can be extensive, the time and cost constraints of doing so can be major stumbling blocks. This new book sets out to prepare participants for the effective management of an M&A projects - from strategy discussions and the preparation phase, through pre-funding negotiations, the appointment of professional advisers, negotiations and the mechanics of M&As to the conclusion of contracts. Along the way, tax and accountancy issues, as well as shareholders’ and directors’ considerations, are also taken into account. Mergers & Acquisitions provides a detailed explanation of the options for those companies considering merging with or acquiring another business, and the processes involved. Written by leading players in the field, the book explores the strategic issues that may arise and the challenges that will be encountered, while placing particular emphasis on the legal, taxation and financial implications.
