Manatt is hosting “M&A Value Creation and Preservation Forum,” a complimentary forum created for C-suite executives, in-house counsel, founders, entrepreneurs, private equity investors and board members. Topic discussions will include M&A activity and trends and the outlook for 2018, protecting value and deal economics through purchase price adjustments and earn-outs and techniques to avoid disputes, and trends in the use of representations and warranties insurance as part of a transaction and understanding its key considerations. The event is taking place January 25 at Shutters on the Beach in Santa Monica, CA.

Matt O’Loughlin, co-chair of the firm’s mergers and acquisitions practice, will lead this sponsorship for Manatt.
