Topics in Private Company Acquisitions (SC)

Exam Information

Final Type (if any): Due Date Only

Description: The final is a take home assignment to mark up a proposed acquisition agreement based upon a company the student has elected to follow and learn about during the class. While the professor will attempt to add value and create an enjoyable environment to cover a broad array of subjects, the student will learn the most from completing their work and learning how to modify documents provided to meet the legitimate business objectives of their client. This assignment will provide an opportunity to implement their hypothetical client's goals and demonstrate the student’s drafting skills. Students may work in small groups or individually on this project and it must be uploaded via EXPO (by each student individually) no later than noon on February 20, 2025. Most students will complete the majority of the work on it during the weeks of the class as we discuss the various aspects of such agreements.
