Overview of class

This course provides an overview of the private equity industry - its objectives, players and goals. We will follow the investment lifecycle from initial investment assessment to the acquisition and financing process to value creation to exit. We will discuss structuring transactions and key transaction terms, as well as critical governance matters. We will cover key topics that anyone working in the industry should understand as a business person or lawyer. In particular, the course will teach you the core legal issues involved in each aspect of private equity investing, from the formation of private equity funds to the debt financing used to leverage private equity investments to the M&A and investment transactions themselves, including key specialized areas such as tax, executive compensation and intellectual property, and the exiting of these transactions to generate returns. The course will also teach you how to review and analyze a number of important documents involved in private equity transactions. Lastly, the course will give you insight into a number of different commercial issues presented by private equity transactions and the manner in which these issues are negotiated.
