Harvard Private Equity Conference

Private Equity Seminar | Mergers and Acquisitions

Harvard's Corporate Governance blog writes of an upcoming conference on private equity and mergers and acquisitions on Thursday, October 30 from 3:00 p.m. - 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time. The event is entitled "the Failure of Private Equity" and is free and open to the public. If you're like me, and can't make the trip to Wilmington, DE on a Thursday you can still attend it online. The sponsors have thankfully made this a webinar and details for attending either in-person or online can be found here.

The following is the overview of the conference and the speakers:

With the Lyondell Chemical case on appeal, and with the Huntsman/Hexion merger still generating litigation activity, M&A lawyers are looking forward to the presentation next Thursday afternoon by Professor Steven M. Davidoff (Click here for more information and to register). His principal topic (The Failure of Private Equity), on which he writes in a forthcoming article, is expected to focus on highlights from Delaware court decisions and proceedings in the past, tumultuous year, particularly as they reflect ambiguous contracting that has often proven ineffective to address the now-evident potential for market reversals. Additionally, Vice Chancellor Leo E. Strine, Jr. will join Professor Davidoff as commentator.

Writing as The Deal Professor, Davidoff is a commentator for the New York Times DealBook on the legal aspects of mergers, private equity and corporate governance. A former corporate attorney at Shearman & Sterling, he is a professor at the University of Connecticut School of Law. His columns are available at The Deal Professor blog.
