DESCRIPTION:\nTo register for this live teleseminar replay, please click here\nAbout the Teleseminar   \nBusiness transactions, particular mergers and acquisitions, can be done or undone in business in the due diligence period – strengths and weaknesses in a business are discovered, confirming the negotiated terms of a deal or calling them into question. When diligence is not conducted vigorously, misunderstandings about crucial financial and business facts may go uncorrected and the essential benefit of the bargain among the parties may not come to fruition. Diligence can be wide in scope – financial accounting and difficult-to-discover problems in the workforce, intellectual property violations and contractual infirmities – costly and time-consuming, but without it business transactions are subject to excessive risk and the prospect of little gain. This program will provide you with a practical guide to planning the diligence process, understanding the key areas of inquiry, and spotting red flags.\n\n\n\n·         Planning the process – information you need, where to get it, timeframe for getting it\n·         Financial records and statements – spotting red flags \n·         Legal structure of an acquisition target – ensuring authority \n·         Contracts with suppliers and customers – ensuring stability\n·         Employee and compensation issues – finding hidden pitfalls \n·         Trade secrets, brands, and intellectual property – ensuring what you get it protected or protectable\n\n \nAbout the Speaker   \n\nPatrick J.
