The panel, “Banker Liability in M&A Transactions: Recent Developments Regarding Independence, Conflicts of Interest and Fairness Opinions,” examined how courts and securities regulators in different jurisdictions have treated issues relating to the independence of financial advisors and potential conflicts of interest. Panelists discussed trends and litigation in U.S. and international forums to compare how various jurisdictions address these issues. The panel included experienced U.S., Canadian, and German in-house and outside counsel.

The American Bar Association’s Section of International Law focuses on the development of policy in the international arena, the promotion of the rule of law, and the education of international law practitioners.
