In most M&A deals, the very first negotiated agreement between the parties is the confidentiality agreement. Weil’s M&A lawyers will discuss these agreements, how they are typically negotiated, and how buyers and sellers can protect themselves in M&A transactions.

On Thursday, May 16, 2024, join us at the Towers at West End for an ACC MN CLE lunch program.

Best Practices in Conducting Intellectual Property Due Diligence Investigations
In M&A transactions, the intellectual property assets are often a key asset driving a transaction’s value. In these situations, the results of an IP diligence investigation can significantly impact the deal terms, structure and price. And, in some situations, the IP diligence can impact whether the deal moves forward. 

Join us for a lively and informative discussion on best practices in conducting intellectual property (IP) due diligence investigations, including establishing appropriate timing and budget expectations with outside counsel, most common and significant “call-outs” in IP diligence, techniques for mitigating risk, resolving issues and closing the deal (from both the buyer and seller perspective), avoiding “tainting” and trade secret misappropriation claims in the event of a broken deal, and much more!

Join ACC St. Louis and Husch Blackwell for the CLE Getting the Most Out of Mediation on Thursday, March 28th!

In recent years, mediation has surged in prominence as a valued step in the resolution of disputes. Yet, despite its widespread recognition and effectiveness, questions still linger: “How do I get out of this mediation? Will it be futile? Can this dispute truly be resolved?" 

Our program delves into the benefits of embracing the mediation process and aims to empower you with knowledge and strategies to navigate disputes with confidence and efficacy. 

Join us as we discuss the following:

- Avenues to compel or avoid mediation

- Considerations for selecting your mediator

- How to manage disclosures to mediators, strategically balancing transparency with confidentiality

- The (limited) authority the mediator has and their potential role as a witness post-mediation

- Techniques mediators use to move toward resolution 

- Common pitfalls that hinder the process
