Keynote address: 360 Degrees of M&A So, you've mastered the technical aspects of M&A and are now looking to take your skills to the next level?
How have business adapted and moved on (post crisis) and how are regulatory issues impacting their industries? Are there any trends in the type of transactions companies are pursuing and have deals become more complex? Is it a buyers' or sellers' market? Moderator Anthony Kenny, Assistant General Counsel Corporate and CBS, GSK, UK
Marvelle Sullivan Berchtold (Global Head of M&A of Novartis - and a trained lawyer) will speak about the critical skills that distinguish the great from the good, using salient and practical examples that can be immediately applied in your practice, including how to approach:

Jonathan Marsh, International General Counsel, TOTAL, France

Global macro economic landscape and global M&A post crisis Will the US be ready if/when the global economy really starts to grow again? How will the world cope when the US Fed starts to retighten monetary policy? Is Europe ever going to be in a fit state to compete in the global economy again, or will it just be a retirement home and holiday destination? Is China really the place to be in the next half century, or are we overlooking the next growth stunner?
Palwinder Hare, Global Head of Legal, M&A/Corporate, Standard Chartered Bank, UK
14:15 - 15:45
Key legal trends in global M&A • US: Why and how shareholder activism is driving M&A, increased cross-border M&A in the market, including corporate inversions. • Indonesia: Why M&A is an attractive way to invest, an overview of its regulatory regime and recent legal developments that impact transactions. • Europe: Better safe, or cheap and sorry due diligence? Complex SAP agreements: still a tailor-made contract or now a commodity? External advisor panels and the new trend of having different firms to cover all legal fields. • China: Still a premier investment destination, fast growing outbound investment and increasing sophistication of local companies, risk assessment, due diligence and compliance, key to deal agreements. • India: The new government and optimistic investor sentiment, corporate governance, minority protection and shareholder activism, public M&A, and recent trends in competition law.

The venue
The Inner Temple is one of the oldest of the four Inns of Court in England and is sometimes referred to as the cradle of common law. Dating back to the 12th century when this part of London was the headquarters for the Knights Templar, it was granted in 1608 by King James I to the Inns of Court, and have remained ever since, central to the legal profession of England and Wales.
The tour
Before the drinks reception delegates will have a chance to experience some of the Inner Temple’s rich history with a private guided tour, which will include the main hall, the temple church (with the medieval knight effigies where The Da Vinci Code was filmed), a viewing of the Magna Carta, and weather permitting, the award winning garden and setting for some of Shakespeare’s plays.
The dinner
After the drinks reception delegates will be called to the Parliament Chamber to cap the day’s event and savor the ambiance of the venue’s rich history with peers and new acquaintances over a three course dinner with arranged seating. The after dinner speaker will be the Sub-Treasurer of The Inner Temple, Patrick Maddams Hon FRIBA. The dress code is business attire.
