On September 19, 2014, the Sochi-2014 International Investment Forum in partnership with EPAM will hold a roundtable “Golden Rules of M&A Transactions”. Dimitry Afanasiev, Chairman of EPAM, is to moderate the roundtable. Robin Wittering, partner at EPAM, will take part as a panelist.
In 2013 over 300 mergers and acquisitions were announced in the CIS countries. Implementation of each transaction took many months or, in some cases, over a year. Russian and international experts will discuss their M&A experiences and the highlights that determine the success of such transactions at the roundtable.
The roundtable will be held on the second day of the Sochi-2014 Forum from 14:30 to 16:00. The following topics will be discussed:
- Trends in the M&A market in Russia and CIS
- Raising finance in the current market conditions
- Avoiding pitfalls in the transaction
- National or English law? Pros and cons
- Characteristics of transactions with state corporations and large financial-industrial groups
- Special situations
- Disputes arising out of M&A transactions and how to avoid them
- Regulatory aspects of transactions
The Sochi International Investment Forum is a modern platform for constructive dialogue between business and government aimed at resolving the issues of the world’s economy developments and its main trends, discussion of the prospects and opportunities as well as presentation of innovations and new large-scale investment projects.
