Event| Corporate Transactions| Corporate & Chancery Litigation
What better way to learn about M&A litigation than from the attorneys who litigate the nation’s most important M&A disputes and the judges who preside over them? PLI has assembled judges from the Delaware Supreme Court and the Court of Chancery and distinguished M&A litigators to give attendees their perspectives on the best ways to handle corporate M&A disputes. Join the masters of M&A litigation to learn about:
- Litigating poison pills in the wake of Selectica, Newmark and Yucaipa
- Erecting or dismantling a “Just Say No” defense to a hostile takeover
- Tackling the vagaries of business strategy immunity
- Settling merger lawsuits through disclosure-only settlements
- Coordinating the race to the courthouse after a merger announcement
- Managing discovery in the Delaware Court of Chancery
Anne Foster will speak on a panel entitled "Tackling the Unique Challenges of Expedited M&A Discovery," which will explore:
- The business strategy immunity (predicting the application of a vague standard, balancing privilege v. need to communicate with shareholders and merger arbs, and interplay between strict protective orders and the immunity)
- Discovery requirements/burdens in expedited M&A litigation (permissible/adequate collection methods and privilege logs in the Delaware Court of Chancery)
