SFGH partner Jonathan Friedland to feature on "Private Company M&A Boot Camp 2020: The M&A Process"

On October 1, 2020, SFGH partner Jonathan Friedland will feature on a Financial Poise/West LegalEdcenter webinar entitled "Private Company M&A Boot Camp 2020: The M&A Process.” Buying, selling, or merging a company typically follows a similar set of steps from deal to deal. The amount of time each step takes varies but the order of the steps is fairly uniform because the steps follow a certain logic: before the parties share meaningful information, they should sign a confidentiality agreement; once a baseline amount of information is known by the would-be buyer, it commonly presents a letter of intent or term sheet to the target or its owner; additional due diligence and the negotiation, drafting and signing of definitive documents comes next. The parties then obtain any needed third-party approvals; followed by closing; and finally by post-closing tasks. This webinar is a road map or timeline for a typical business deal when buying, selling, or merging a company. Click HERE to learn more and to register.
