Deal-Ready: A Legal Masterclass With Cooley at the CEO Summit

Diligence rarely kills a deal outright. It reprices it, delays it, or moves risk and burdens onto the seller. In this masterclass, Cooley attorneys from both private companies and education practices work backward from that moment to explore the contractual, data privacy and security, and IP issues that most often surface in the data room for education companies – and what each one typically costs when it is found late rather than fixed early. Attendees work from a short pre-diligence checklist they can apply to their own companies, with time held for specific questions about their own situations.

Panelists include:

  • Naomi May – Partner, Cooley
  • Danielle Gershowitz – Partner, Cooley
  • Vanessa Agudelo – Associate, Cooley
  • Dan Shackelford – Associate, Cooley
