YEREVAN, Armenia – On December 18, 2014, the American University of Armenia (AUA) Master of Laws (LL.M.) Program hosted a master class on Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) conducted by Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer Corporate Partner Mr. Sebastian Lawson.

The class was held at the initiative of the GPartners Law Firm and gathered around 30 participants, consisting of practitioners, scholars, and law students. Mr. Lawson made a presentation on the key steps of a typical M&A deal from the perspective of the lawyer.  He also delved deeper into the legal documentation and procedures that will prepare both sides for the deal, such as due diligence and data room.

The LL.M. Program believes that master classes such as these will significantly contribute to AUA law students’ learning and plans to continue to initiate and support such events.
