Mergers and Acquisitions explores the law, policy and practice of corporate takeovers—including mergers, acquisitions and tender offers—through a careful study of materials on deal structuring, the deal-making process, fiduciary duty doctrine, and other special topics. The book features case excerpts, law review articles, and a selection of federal and state statutes and regulations. Its aim is to provide students with a sense of the background principles underlying mergers and acquisitions, the key rules and structures that shape the process, and the fundamental deal documents that drive the M&A industry.The law and policy of M&A have seen significant changes in recent years. The private equity boom, the renewed vigor of antitrust prosecutions, and the proliferation of shareholder activists have all made the landscape shift.

Mergers and Acquisitions provides readers with all the tools necessary to understand and appreciate these complexities of the law and policy of M&A. Professors and students will benefit from: Comprehensive coverage of M&A topics Accessible style with a traditional focus on cases Extensive notes highlighting hot topics Special chapters on antitrust, securities regulation, private equity and cross-border mergers
