The GC as Strategic Deal Partner: De-Risking M&A in Uncertain Markets
Â
How has today's deal environment changed the role of the General Counsel?
As regulatory scrutiny, AI-related diligence, geopolitical uncertainty, and cross-border complexity reshape the M&A landscape, legal leaders are playing an increasingly strategic role in helping organizations evaluate and execute transactions.
In this discussion, Osler lawyers and an in-house legal leader will explore how GCs can identify emerging risks earlier, advise business and board stakeholders as deal dynamics evolve, and adapt diligence priorities to today's market realities. Through practical examples and lessons from transactions that nearly went off course, attendees will gain actionable insights for navigating complex deals with greater confidence.
