How taking pre-contractual disclosure obligations into account in M&A practice can avoid disputes
In addition to the essential commercial aspects, the legal framework plays an important role in connection with M&A transactions. A prudent legal structure of M&A processes allows certain risks to be minimized and initial advantages to be created in the event of a possible later dispute with the counterparty.
But what is meant by prudent legal design? For our event M&A transactions looked at differently: How the consideration of pre-contractual disclosure obligations in M&A practice can avoid disputes, we focus on pre-contractual disclosure obligations. In addition to practical experiences, we will particularly focus on the latest case law from Germany.

M&A-Transaktionen anders betrachtet: Wie die Berücksichtigung vorvertraglicher Aufklärungspflichten in der M&A-Praxis Streit vermeiden kann
zusätzlich zu den wesentlichen kommerziellen Aspekten spielen die rechtlichen Rahmenbedingungen eine wichtige Rolle im Zusammenhang mit M&A-Transaktionen. Dabei erlaubt eine umsichtige rechtliche Gestaltung von M&A-Prozessen, gewisse Risiken zu minimieren und Startvorteile für einen allfällig späteren Streit mit dem Gegenüber zu schaffen.
Was aber ist unter einer umsichtigen rechtlichen Gestaltung zu verstehen? Für unsere Veranstaltung M&A-Transaktionen anders betrachtet: Wie die Berücksichtigung vorvertraglicher Aufklärungspflichten in der M&A-Praxis Streit vermeiden kann legen wir ein Hauptaugenmerk auf vorvertragliche Aufklärungspflichten. Neben praktischen Erfahrungen werden wir insbesondere auf die jüngste Rechtsprechung aus Deutschland eingehen.
