Sealing the Deal: Hidden Information and Privacy Risks in M&A

Mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures don’t just involve financials and strategy, they are also high-stakes exercises in privacy and information management. From due diligence and virtual data rooms to post-deal integration and employee data transfers, overlooking personal and sensitive information can trigger privacy breaches, regulatory violations, and operational risks. This interactive workshop will explore the practical challenges of managing information in M&A, using real-world scenarios to spark discussion and problem-solving. Participants will work through real-world case studies such as handling customer and employee data transfers and what to do when regulators come knocking post-deal.
