The Legal Practice Course Guides provide a guide to the law, practice, and procedure at the heart of the Legal Practice Course. Each Guide explains the relevant substantive and procedural law, and where appropriate, contains sample precedents, documents, and checklists. The Guides form a bridge between the notes, exercises, and case studies produced by LPC providers and the often technical material found in practitioner texts. This Guide has been written for students taking electives in corporate finance, mergers and acquisitions on the Legal Practice Course. It offers a practical and comprehensive guide to the regulation of, and practical legal processes involved in, corporate finance, mergers and acquisitions transactions. It has been fully revised and updated to cover all recent developments in this area of practice.
