The aim of this course is to give students an introduction to the major corporate, sompetition and tax problems involved in mergers and acquisitions. This will include among others a discussion of the problems cencerning the companies (listed and non-listed), the parties to the transaction, the shareholders and other stakeholders such as employees. The course will focus especially on cross-border transactions.
The course will not refer to any specific legal system as such, but it deals with the position of all parties involved in mergers and acquisitions including the considerations and consequences of various forms of corporate restructuring/reorganisation. The basic statutory framework that will be used to discuss the problems involved are the relevant directives of the European Union.
