Since the inaugural program in 2004, Lex Mundi member firms and their clients have increasingly turned to the Lex Mundi Institute (LMI) for unique, advanced learning opportunities for lawyers that cannot be found elsewhere.
The Cross-border Transactions program objectives are to prepare participants to run cross-border mergers and acquisitions transactions, to enhance their knowledge and understanding of business concepts relevant to those transactions, and to develop an array of skills that cross-border lawyers need. Participants will be expected to participate in practical exercises, preparing and presenting a pitch to in-house counsel, and negotiating a deal.
During the program, participants will attend courses on presentation and communication skills, professional responsibility, negotiation skills, and business development and building and sustaining client relationships. Valuation and financial impact of an M&A deal will be explored in some depth. Participants will also have a unique opportunity to network with colleagues from other countries. A recommended prerequisite is a minimum of seven years’ experience in transactional practice.
Participants in the Lex Mundi Institute Cross-Border Transactions Program are selected through an application process.
The selection process does not involve deciding which nominees are better than the others but focuses on putting together a group of individuals that will interact well.
An application form must be completed by the firm and submitted along with the candidate's CV.
Please contact Krystle Bullock with any questions.
