After a rather tepid start to the year, the M&A markets have begun to show signs of renewed life in 2012. The variability in deal activity creates uncertainty and rewards preparedness. Now more than ever, it is critical for dealmakers and their counsel to stay abreast of the latest trends and forecasts. Will the tough markets of the last year give way to greater stability and optimism in the second half of 2012? How will buyers and sellers adjust their behavior in response to recent experience? How will economic developments drive merger strategy and tactics? How should companies be preparing for approaches by activists? Join our expert faculty of lawyers, general counsel, regulators and investment bankers as we explore the fascinating state of mergers and acquisitions and trends for the year ahead.

Topics to be covered include:

Tactics for dealing with activists and proxy advisors
The latest technology in deal protection and relevant developments in Delaware law
Trends in spinoffs, carve-outs and divestitures
Ethical challenges in M&A transactions
SEC and antitrust developments
