M&A Forum: Avoiding and Navigating Post-Merger Integration Challenges

​No matter the deal rationale, effectively integrating two companies can be a complex process, rife with challenges. Companies have to navigate a web of contractual obligations, regulatory requirements, employment laws and compliance policies across jurisdictions, among other synergistic and corporate culture alignment issues. By being aware of these challenges, and by acknowledging and addressing them as early as possible, teams can more adeptly navigate these complexities and avoid missteps ahead of time.

​In this M&A Forum, our panelists will trade key experiences and share lessons learned around integration pitfalls and successes as well as provide attendees with the information needed to build their playbooks for flawless integration. 

​Speakers include:

​Corey Brown, Partner, Co-Chair M&A Practice, Foley Hoag LLP

​Karen Tepichin, General Counsel, Ginkgo Bioworks

​Michael Rice, Co-Founder and COO, AMP (Acquired by Ford)
