Mergers and Acquisitions: Cases, Materials, and Problems by Therese Maynard, Professor of Law and Leo J. O'Brien Fellow

To help your students "hit the ground running" in a transactional M&A practice, adopt this concise and student-friendly casebook for your next course in Mergers and Acquisitions. Accessible and practical, Mergers & Acquisitions: Cases and Materials concentrates on developing the skills and substantive knowledge your students need for their future practice.

This new casebook has a real-world focus:

• includes cases, references to state and federal statutes, and plenty of problems
• the skills-based approach covers M&A transactions in the context of both Main Street and Wall Street
• emphasizes the ethical responsibilities of both lawyers and corporate managers who are responsible for implementing acquisition transactions
• the text underscores the importance of modern fiduciary duty law, and builds up to the topic in the latter part of the book

Mergers & Acquisitions: Cases and Materials is carefully constructed for efficient teaching and effective learning:

• notes in the Appendix demonstrate the vital importance of understanding where the money (or whatever serves as the acquisition consideration) is going
• diagrams in the Appendix are repeatedly referred to throughout the text for the convenience of both students and instructors
• comprehensive Teacher's Manual includes alternative approaches to teaching, suggestions for shortening reading assignments, topics to be deleted for shorter courses, sample syllabi, and detailed analysis and answers for all the problems in the casebook
• additional teaching materials are available that include PowerPoint slides of all the diagrams in the Appendix additional diagrams for the cases, answers to all problems and questions in the casebook, updates to related materials, and suggestions on how to integrate current events into class discussion
