The 12th IBA European Corporate and Private M&A Conference is a premier event organized by the International Bar Association (IBA), focusing on the latest developments and trends in corporate and private mergers and acquisitions across Europe. This conference brings together leading legal professionals, corporate executives, and industry experts to discuss and analyze the evolving landscape of M&A activities.

Key topics covered during the conference include post-closing litigation issues such as price adjustments and warranty claims, the impact of foreign direct investment regimes on transaction agreements, and strategies for effective sales presentations to win business. Sessions are designed to provide practical insights and foster discussions on current challenges and opportunities in the M&A sector.

Attendees can benefit from networking opportunities with peers and industry leaders, participate in live mock negotiations, and gain firsthand knowledge from experienced practitioners. Notable speakers include Carsten Woehrn from JP Morgan, who delivered the keynote address on the strategic and private M&A market in Europe, and Maurice Lévy from Publicis Groupe, who shared insights during a fireside chat on navigating challenging times in business leadership.

This conference is ideal for legal professionals specializing in corporate law, M&A advisors, corporate executives involved in strategic transactions, and anyone interested in staying abreast of the latest trends and best practices in European M&A. Participants will gain valuable knowledge, enhance their professional networks, and acquire practical skills applicable to their practice areas.
