A surge in complex M&A activity, coupled with heightened regulatory scrutiny around workforce practices and employee benefits, makes a deep understanding of the "people side" of deals more critical than ever. This program is timely because careful diligence, precise deal-document drafting, and thoughtful post-closing integration of employment and benefits issues now play a central role in managing risk, preserving deal value, and ensuring smooth transitions for employees and employers alike. Stick around after for a social hour with light food and drinks, thanks to our sponsor, Barnes & Thornburg LLP.
