Risky Business: The Critical Value Information Governance Brings to Mergers, Acquisitions and Divestitures

February 6, 2014

A difficult global financial market increases competition, which usually results in a flurry of mergers, acquisitions, liquidations and divestitures. For IG professionals, these high-stakes transactions represent critical opportunities to affect value for their organizations and clients, both pre- and post-transaction. This session at LegalTech New York 2014 shared case studies and insights on:

· Supporting due diligence and HSR 2nd Request processes by finding and making information available that may not have well managed or easy to find

· Facilitating the assimilation of information assets post-transaction to ensure information is available, protected and storage is optimized

· Mitigating inadvertent release or disclosure during a divestiture or split
