契約ドラフティングの講師として活躍する著者が長年培ってきたアプローチを駆使し、M&A契約の各条項の相互作用や、用いるべき／でない文言等を分析。

Structure of M&A Contracts offers a detailed and practical account of the function of the different categories of provisions in a mergers-and-acquisitions contract and the interplay among them. These are important topics and a slight change of phrasing in one part of a contract can have important implications for other parts of the contract. And issues relating to contract structure arise routinely in M&A negotiations.

The author applies to this subject the innovative approach he has brought to bear in his writings on contract drafting. He specifies what wording you should use in a given context and what you should avoid. And some analysis is presented in a series of figures, so as to make it easier to understand. This book is a valuable resource to anyone involved in M&A transactions.
