LAW 7678

Financial Institutions Mergers & Acquisitions

Course Description

Course information provided by the 2026-2027 Catalog.

This course explores this specialty practice by analyzing transactional and regulatory matters that would be handled by a “financial institutions group” at a large US law firm. To best capture the complexity of this practice area, the course will focus primarily on bank M&A, specifically examining: (i) the foundations of banking law and policy, (ii) the lifecycle of different types of bank M&A deals (i.e., mergers, minority investments, assets purchases, etc.), and (iii) the regulatory implications for each of these transactions. At the end of the course, students should understand how a financial institutions practice operates and have the skills to contribute to a transactional/regulatory practice on day one. No prior financial institutions knowledge is necessary.
