The Knowledge Group Has Scheduled a Live Webcast on Modernizing the Role of Board of Directors & Senior Officers in Merger & Acquisition Management in 2016

New York, NY, December 12, 2015 --(PR.com)-- The Knowledge Group/The Knowledge Congress Live Webcast Series, the leading producer of regulatory focused webcasts, announced today that it has scheduled a live webcast entitled: Modernizing the Role of Board of Directors & Senior Officers in Merger & Acquisition Management in 2016. This two-hour event is scheduled on December 17, 2015 at 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM ET.

Event Synopsis:
The traditional view in many companies is that the Board of Directors involvement in Merger & Acquisition (M&A) interferes with the action of financial and other managers. Many large corporations depend on M&A to grow. Yet, poorly executed M&A can harm return on capital for decades.

Inherently, many board members reluctant to be involved in management may miss opportunities to help senior executives win M&A bids and manage the associated risks, and thereby create greater value, test merger integration plans, and help managers to create a corporate competitive advantage.

Integration of the actions of the Board and CFO or COO has long been one of the most difficult aspects of the M&A transactions within corporations. As such, it is critical for there to be holistic leadership in both preliminary and final discussions to identify the most appropriate actions and mitigate potential risks. None of this should be done in absence of sound legal advice from experienced and competent M&A lawyers.

In this two-hour, Live Webcast, a panel of distinguished professionals and thought leaders assembled by The Knowledge Group will provide listeners with an in-depth overview of modernizing the role of Board of Directors & Senior Officers in Merger & Acquisition Management. The speakers will help the audience better understand the various responsibilities of the board members and officers in strategy formulation, governance, and risk management in M&A transactions. This CLE course will provide the audience and interested participants with best practices, latest insights, and legal pitfalls in merger and acquisition management.
