COVID-19: Board Business: M&A transaction issues in Northern Ireland
In this edition of our series "Responding to Covid-19: Board Business", we look at some immediate challenges for Boards and deal makers as the disruptive effects of COVID-19 continue to intensify across all sectors of the economy.
We focus on key legal areas for boards who are in the midst of:
- Contemplating a transaction
- Mid-negotiations
- Post-signing with a completion date in the future
We highlight a number of lessons we can learn from the global financial crisis in 2008 in terms of transaction planning and risk mitigation.
We also address some practical questions relating to M&A transactions and issues which now arise due to the new requirements around social distancing and remote working.
