Overview

This boot camp is an intensive instructor-led training program where trainees learn about legal and tax structures in M&A with a specific focus on the differences and contrasting motivations between asset sales and stock sales. We begin with a quick review of purchase price allocation before walking through the different transaction structures and the significant tax and accounting implications of each. We will examine the benefits and considerations of each deal structure to the buyer and seller and analyze how a negotiation can optimize their outcomes. We conclude with a look at the deal structure’s impact on financial models.
