The course aims to enable students to handle cross-border aspects of Mergers and Acquisition (M&A) transactions, FDI and inbound investments. It also addresses tax, employment and regulatory issues for a comprehensive view of M&A deals.
A similar approach is followed with respect to institutional finance transactions (loans, syndicated loans and other credit facilities), which are critical to raising debt to run and expand business operations. The course has a significant focus on security documentation (share pledges, guarantees, mortgage deed, hypothecation and non-disposal undertaking) since high-value loans are often given only upon obtaining adequate security. The course also provides step-by-step training in conducting a due-diligence exercise and writing a due-diligence report.
