Brokers, bankers, buyers, and sellers often ask us what they should know to better understand the legal aspects of M&A and the transactional documents that go along with it.  Let’s face it: M&A is complex. To really understand all the moving pieces in this dynamic area of the law a deep dive is required, but some of the best M&A texts span more than 1,000 pages and can seem daunting.  

This series of articles will give you a look each week at one legal aspect of M&A transactions so that you can begin to better educate yourself on what goes into the definitive documents and what happens along the path to closing an M&A transaction. Each week we will give you a small slice of M&A knowledge.  Over time those slices will help you to develop deal acumen and to appreciate why, at Jordon Voytek, we think M&A is a calling and our passion. Come along with Jordon Voytek on a closer look at the legal aspects of M&A to understand how lawyers best position the parties in an M&A transaction, what matters, and why you should care.
