M&A litigation: business sales in the spotlight

Simon Salzedo KC and Sophie Shaw, Brick Court

Business sales are giving rise to significant amounts of litigation and an ever-increasing number of judicial decisions. With allegations of fraud often being made, these cases frequently test and extend the application of existing legal principles. In this talk, two of the authors of Fraud and Breach of Warranty will discuss some of the most contentious areas in M&A disputes and update LSLA members on recent developments, including the knowledge requirements for proving fraud against a corporate defendant and some interesting decisions on remedies including damages, earnouts, rescission and causation.

Attendance is not limited to LSLA members.

The cost is £35 for members (non-members £45).

Our events usually sell out, so please apply early.

The LSLA lectures will start at 6 p.m. All events will last approximately one hour, to include a period for questions at the end, and will be followed by drinks.
