This book sets out to prepare directors for the management of their M&A projects - from strategy discussions and the preparation phase, through pre-funding negotiations, the appointment of professional advisers, the mechanics of M&As, negotiations and the conclusion of contracts.

Along the way, tax and accountancy issues, as well as shareholders' and directors' considerations, are taken into account. "Mergers & Acquisitions" provides a detailed explanation of the options for those companies considering merging with or acquiring another business, and the processes involved.

Written by leading experts in the field, the book explores the strategic issues that may arise and the challenges that will be encountered, while placing particular emphasis on the legal, taxation and financial implications.
