The legal job market is changing rapidly. In the last few years, mergers and acquisitions have become more common and more lucrative. This is great news for law students, but there’s also a lot of fear that will accompany any decision to leave the profession. A big part of the job is being a lawyer, and not everything is perfect. That’s why we’ve created this post to help our readers make the best decision for themselves.
The problem is that some people don’t know what the difference is between a traditional merger and an acquisition, or what it really takes to make one. If you’re a merger and acquisition lawyer, you will most likely be asked to prepare merger and acquisition agreements, as well as take advice from legal counsel on what the law will require.
Like most people, I like to compare merger and acquisition law to a game of tennis. In tennis, the difference between a “break point” and a “climax”, is a big deal. If you get to a point in the game where you are no longer able to return a serve, you are in a situation where you must call your opponent to make a new point.
The merger and acquisition lawyer in this case is the person who will prepare the merger and acquisition agreement, or the person who will prepare an acquisition agreement, and will also advise on legal matters relating to the merger and acquisition agreement.
The merger and acquisition lawyer is a job description in most merger and acquisition cases. Someone who will help in preparing the agreement or advise the parties on the merger and acquisition, is a different job description. It’s important to understand what that job description is because we are often asked to prepare merger and acquisition agreements when we are preparing to sell our company or buy a competitor.
