Investment Banking Engagement Letters Line by Line: A Detailed Look at Investment Banking Engagement Letters and How to Change Them to Meet Your Needs

This product provides a concise and practical review of the common form of engagement letters typically entered into between companies and their financial advisers when contemplating a merger and acquisition deal. It provides the reader with a nontechnical analysis of the most frequently used provisions, including the specific effects of those provisions, whether the company has the option to change them, and what those options—and alternative language—might be. The reader learns not only which terms that appear onerous are common and why the financial adviser requires them, but also which terms are extraneous and can be negotiated by the company.
