Mergers & Acquisitions

The National Law Review has the latest business news relating to corporate dealings and business negotiations between US-based, and foreign-based, or multinational organizations. When dealing with a merger and acquisition transaction in the business sector, the Committee on Foreign Investments in the United States (CFIUS) governs such transactions. For visitors who are interested in projected mergers (enjoining two companies to become one entity), and upcoming acquisitions (the purchase of one company by another company), the National Law Review covers projected, pending, and completed transactions between companies.

Since mergers and acquisitions can occur nationally and internationally, both US law and international law will govern such transactions. Purchase agreements, monetary values, currencies used in the purchase-sale agreement, and how the newly acquired company will operate, will vary in each purchase-sale transaction. The National Law Review covers cases, has details on pending transactions, and information on the governing-laws, for newly acquired businesses, which are of interest to visitors.

Law firm mergers, financial institutions, commercial real estate transactions, sports, healthcare companies, energy, and foreign acquisitions of US businesses occur on a daily basis. The type of industry in which the transaction is  will be governed by that area of law and will be governed by the contract to which the companies agree. Therefore, in major merger and acquisition transactions, not only is US and international law considered, but the area of law, and contract-terms, are also brought to the table and will govern the purchase-sale agreement between contracting parties in an M&A deal. The National Law Review covers the laws, financial aspects of transactions, governing law, and contract terms the parties agree to.

The National Law Review provides in-depth cases, litigation that occurs out of M&A deals gone wrong, financial considerations and obligations, and details about newly acquired businesses in M&A law. The legal experts who write for the National Law Review are able to provide insight into the profound consequences of these mega-deals and the regulations that govern them.
