Master The Growing Financial Complexities Of Legal Transactions

Overview

About the event

Middle East organisations are utilising increasingly sophisticated financing structures and instruments. Contracts for corporate fnance deals, prospectuses for capital-raising, plus credit, trade and project finance documentation and the negotiations that go with them, all pose a tough challenge for lawyers.

You have to deal with unfamiliar jargon, financial principles which are foreign to you and applications of complex and technical financial instruments and then give opinions, draft contracts and make judgements that have to stand up in practice.

With the growing financial complexities of legal transactions, not least in corporate finance, it has become increasingly important for individuals in your position – especially legal counsel in corporate firms – to have an in-depth understanding of all aspects of the deal. A legal practitioner who has a thorough grounding in corporate finance and accounting fundamentals will have a clear advantage in creating the most appropriate and cost efficient transactions.

This highly interactive training course comes in two separately bookable parts. The first 3-day programme focuses on Fundamentals Of Accounting, Finance And Risk. The second 2-day programme focuses on Advanced Finance: Option Structures, Valuations, Bankruptcy, Leasing, M&A, Project Finance And LBOs.
