M&A Boot Camp training series
Welcome to the event page for Hogan Lovells' 2024 M&A Boot Camp, an annual introductory M&A legal training series for law students, junior lawyers, junior bankers, and junior corporate development professionals.
The series is a mix of live interactive webcasts and on-demand modules offering an intensive but basic introduction to the legal aspects of the M&A world. It provides a foundation in M&A terminology, deal structure, key acquisition agreement provisions (focusing primarily on acquisitions of privately held businesses), due diligence, and more.
The Boot Camp program utilizes innovative teaching methods, including illustrative interactive negotiations and semi-animated training cartoons, and includes a comprehensive set of M&A training materials.
The course will be taught by Hogan Lovells' market-leading Silicon Valley M&A team consisting of partners Rick Climan, Keith Flaum, Jane Ross, and Jalpit Amin. Listen to the welcome message for law students to hear more about the M&A Boot Camp.
You will earn a Certificate of Graduation if you receive a passing score on the open-book final exam.
