What to Expect When You’re Expecting to Be Acquired or Make a Strategic Acquisition

Farella's Carolina de Armas and Greg LeSaint with guest speaker Reggie Davis with Qualia Labs, Inc., discuss "What to Expect When You’re Expecting to Be Acquired or Make a Strategic Acquisition."

The M&A process can be fast-paced, high-stakes, and full of surprises.  Whether your company is preparing to be acquired, gearing up to make a strategic acquisition, or may consider one of those two paths in the future, the success of that acquisition process will depend on circumstances that exist before the process even starts.  This session will focus on what happens before the acquisition process takes off:  from internal readiness and strategic positioning to early business discussions and setting the stage for smooth diligence and negotiations, with a focus on current market dynamics in 2025.  We’ll also explore the unique ways in which legal and financial personnel can drive value at every step.  Expect real-world tips and lessons learned, so your company can avoid protracted negotiations, wasted time and money, busted deals and post-deal regret.
