Doing Due Diligence
How many junior law firm attorneys are called onto a deal and asked to start doing diligence review of a target company's contracts in the data room? "What should I look for? How should I usefully summarize it in the diligence matrix?" Many of us wondered these same questions the first time (or, if we're being honest, the first few times) we did this work. This course removes the mystery from doing diligence review of target contracts, giving learners guidance and practice doing this work so they're sure-footed heading into the real deal.
