Special Mergers and Acquisitions course for MSU students

Special Mergers and Acquisitions course for MSU students

On 12 October 2024, we begin our special Mergers and Acquisitions course for students of the Moscow State University Faculty of Law.

The course will be led by its founder, Andrey Dontsov, and the partners and counsels of Stonebridge Legal.

Our experts will share their experience with the next generation of lawyers using real M&A cases.

We will cover the following topics:

  • buyer and seller logic in transactions, and structuring basics depending on the buyer's (seller's) objectives;
  • a basic approach to business valuation, contractual provisions on transaction prices and adjustments thereto;
  • negotiation, basic structural tasks, argumentation and counter-argumentation;
  • an overview of documentation used in M&A transactions;
  • an overview of disputes arising from M&A transactions.

Stonebridge Legal has extensive experience in advising, structuring and financing multibillion dollar transactions in the international and Russian M&A markets, both on the advisory side and as in-house lawyers.

We believe that the transfer of knowledge and experience to the next generation of lawyers is our common endeavour. Our co-operation with educational institutions allows us to actively interact with talented students, develop their practical skills and encourage their professional development.
