This program covers the various legal issues Tennessee business lawyers face through the life cycle of a business combination transaction, whether accomplished through a merger, an acquisition, a share exchange, or a combination of any of them. Panelists will provide a practical, nuts-and-bolts treatment of each phase of a business combination, covering determining whether and how to select a business broker, the drafting and executing letters of intent, conducting diligence, and negotiating the acquisition agreement.

Sessions will include a more in-depth examination of selected topics in merger and acquisition law and practice, including the significance and effects of transaction structure, tax planning issues for entities and individual equity holders, and rollover equity implications. The program will particularly emphasize legal and practical considerations associated with conducting business combination transactions in Tennessee. The sessions are designed to be useful for both transactional lawyers and litigators practicing in public and private practice settings.

• When and How to Select a Business Broker
