Introduction

Due diligence is a critical driver of deal success and valuation. This session outlines best practice approaches to planning, conducting, and reporting on due diligence. It highlights emerging risks, technology related issues, and red flags practitioners must be able to spot quickly.

What You Will Learn

This live and interactive course will cover the following:

  • Aligning the due diligence with the commercial rationale of the deal
  • Distinguishing between issues that are deal critical, price-sensitive, mitigable, or immaterial
  • Understanding complex corporate structures and potential shareholder issues
  • Evaluating, prioritising, and reporting risk
  • Using AI to speed up processes
  • Cross border and jurisdictional issues
  • Allowing findings to drive negotiation

Recording of live sessions: Soon after the Learn Live session has taken place you will be able to go back and access the recording - should you wish to revisit the material discussed.
