Speaking Engagement

WilmerHale Partner Michael Levitin will speak on a panel offering insight on strategy, tactics, and responsibilities in handling a public company sale, while considering the facts of actual transaction. The panel includes deal counsel and a director of the acquired company. These points will include:

How should a company respond to an unsolicited “bear hug” letter?
When should a company adopt a “poison pill” in response to a hostile inquiry?
If a Board receives a “compelling” offer that it wants to accept, must it still shop the company?
How does a “go-shop” process work?
What are reasonable defensive measures for a deal?
How should a Board conduct itself to minimize shareholder litigation risk?
