Reviews

This book is different because it tackles the core elements of frequently encountered corporate transactions—due diligence and the disclosure-warranty conundrum.

IP Issues in Corporate Transactions provides an introduction to the basic features of IP law and practice, seen through the lens of large corporate transactions. It provides useful information for its target audience, which is non-IP lawyers, or perhaps that should be non-IP-lawyers who work in M&A.
