Cross-Border M&A Outlook: Transactional, Litigation and Legislative Insights in the Wake of COVID-19

April 14, 2021
8:00 am-9:00 am

Price: Free

The M&A landscape in 2020 was shaped in large part by the impact of COVID-19 on global business.  While 2021 is expected to usher in an uptick in global M&A activity, the lingering effects of COVID-19 and developments caused by the pandemic will impact cross-border M&A transactions in 2021. Join Hogan Lovells partners Aaron Cutler, Ryan M. Philp, and Michael Szlamkowicz as they discuss the current state of cross-border M&A. This 50 minute program will focus on cross-border M&A from a transactional, litigation, and legislative perspective and offer insights on the challenges that lawyers engaging in cross-border M&A may face in the coming months.
