While complex co-investment or joint venture agreements have been seen regularly in some industries as an alternative to conventional M&A, there are an increasing number of transactions being structured using such arrangements to seek to realise latent value, exploit synergies, bridge valuation deltas or enter new markets without requiring full acquisition financing or divestment. The deals tend to be complex, with resultant execution risk and timing uncertainty, but these techniques are becoming increasingly relevant as a response to difficult financing and market conditions. The panel members provide insight into the issues that need to be managed and some of the potential structures and solutions currently being adopted.
Speakers: Corporate partners Spencer Baylin, Nigel Wellings and Patrick Sarch with antitrust partner Greg Olsen.
