Chicago corporate partner Kimberly deBeers spoke at "Acquiring or Selling the Privately Held Company 2017," a PLI seminar held May 16-17 in Chicago. Ms. deBeers participated in a discussion titled "Specialty Areas in Private Acquisitions or Sales: International Aspects," focusing on special diligence concerns, structuring to acquire (and perhaps later sell) a non-U.S. company, common drafting pitfalls when non-U.S. laws govern part or all of a deal, dispute settlement alternatives in the cross-border context, and execution formalities in certain jurisdictions.
