The M&A section provides a forum for DAJV members with an interest in the legal issues surrounding corporate law and the purchase and sale of businesses  in a cross-border context. This section generally focuses on legal practice in international transactions having a transnational component. The sections' annual meeting takes place every spring and serves as its most important platform for the exchange of ideas. At our workshops, members and guest lecturers provide case studies of German-American M&A transactions or discuss current developments in transatlantic practice. Subjects covered in recent years have included M&A transactions during the financial crisis, the relocation of business operations in the United States and Europe, German-American corporate investigations, the stabilization of banks during the financial crisis and the Opel (GM) sales process.
