We are delighted to invite you to an exclusive evening discussion exploring how business leaders can prepare for successful transactions and minimise the risks that can cause deals to fall apart.

A substantial minority of deals do not make it to successful completion, even once headline terms have been agreed. Worse, it is often a combination of wholly predictable factors that cause a mutually desired transaction to fall apart.

The emotional and financial fall out from a failed transaction is significant. So how can business leaders prepare themselves and their businesses to minimise that risk?

Join us on 14th May at The Royal Air Force Club in Piccadilly for drinks and a light supper as we explore common deal pitfalls and how to avoid them.

Date and Time: Thursday, 14th May, from 5:00pm
Venue: The Royal Air Force Club, 128 Piccadilly, London W1J 7PY, United Kingdom

Our speakers are corporate finance and legal advisers with decades of experience who will share their insights on the financial, legal and human barriers to successful deal-doing, as well as answering any questions you might have.
