Since 2017, the Mergers & Acquisitions Committee of the Business Law Section has strived to be a meaningful resource for its members, Business Law Section members, and NYSBA members at large.
Focusing on the multidisciplinary, and industry-spanning nature of the practice of M&A law, our goal is to bring substantive and market-relevant programming to practitioners that can be leveraged by them daily in their own roles.
Our highly-rated seminars typically highlight current issues arising in different facets of the M&A practice, and, drawing on the experience of top practitioners in law firms and in-house positions alike, often walk participants through the entire life-cycle of the M&A transaction with a focus on the specific topic of the day.
Committee leadership also values the opportunity to use the work of the Committee as a forum for meaningful networking and practice development for its members.
