Mergers and Acquisitions: Cases and Materials, Second Edition is a concise, accessible, practical, and student-friendly presentation of everything law students need to know about mergers and acquisitions in order to hit the ground running in a transactional setting.

Using a real-world and skills-based approach, this classroom-tested casebook :

includes cases, references to state and federal statutes, and numerous problems
offers a highly accessible introduction and solid foundation for the materials in the first two chapters
emphasizes the ethical responsibilities of both lawyers and corporate managers who are responsible for implementing acquisition transactions
underscores the importance of modern fiduciary duty law, building up to the topic in the latter part of the book
includes a Comprehensive Teacher’s Manual with alternative approaches to teaching, suggestions for shortening reading assignments, suggested deletions to accommodate a two- or three-credit course, sample syllabi, and detailed analysis and answers for all problems in the casebook
offers a comprehensive author-hosted website (http://faculty.lls.edu/maynard) that provides PowerPoint slides of all diagrams included in the Appendix, discussion of how to use each slide, answers to all problems and questions in the casebook, updates and links to related materials, and suggestions on how to integrate current events into classroom discussion

The extensive appendices in this casebook offer a wide-range of value-added learning and teaching aids:

notes demonstrate the vital importance of understanding where the money (or whatever is to serve as the acquisition consideration) is going
