Recording of a 90-minute CLE teleconference with Q&A


Conducted on Thursday, May 21, 2009
Recorded event now available


This seminar will discuss current opportunities and legal trends in mergers and acquisitions for financial institutions and banks and offer best practices for avoiding pitfalls when structuring the merger deal.

Description

As the credit market crisis continues to threaten struggling commercial banks, bank mergers are increasingly common. The Administration's Financial Stability and Recovery Plan could further stimulate more bank mergers and acquisitions.

While consolidation can enable bank survival, it also presents a myriad of legal and regulatory issues. Proper pre-merger planning is important to ensure compliance with current — and changing — regulatory, legal and tax regulations — and to avoid adversely affecting the M&A deal.

Listen as our authoritative panel of attorneys discusses current trends and opportunities in bank M&A and outlines different ways that banks can approach and structure a consolidation deal in the current economic environment.
