From Pitch to Close: M&A Transactions with PE Buyers
GCs are no strangers to M&A transactions, but private equity deals present their own set of unique challenges. Join TechGC and industry experts as they share challenges encountered and best practices learned from their experiences, highlighting key complexities GCs should keep top of mind while navigating these deals. Log off with a comprehensive understanding of the M&A process with private equity buyers, as well as practical tips and strategies to apply to your own day-to-day.
3.5 NY / 3.25 CA credits (see other states below). This course is appropriate for experienced attorneys. TechGC has been certified by the New York State Continuing Legal Education Board and the State Bar of California as an Accredited Provider of continuing legal education.

By invitation only for TechGC and DeputyGC Charter Members. Non-transferable.
Preparing for a transaction can seem daunting, but it doesn’t have to be a full time job. What are some practical steps a GC can take to drive preparation in the long run? We will cover legal and operational preparedness, areas of self-diligence, non-legal matters to keep in mind to execute and manage through a process.
