MISSION & GOALS
The ELA Mergers & Acquisitions specialty group offers a global forum for ELA member lawyers practicing in the branch of corporate law to share their experiences and best-practices, stay updated on relevant global events, and to serve as a resource in a professional network.
- The group holds three global meetings (perhaps a few regional meetings). The group conducts meetings on the ELA Zoom platform and also fosters networking opportunities for ELA members at regional professional events/conferences.
- Meetings comprise of presentations, roundtable discussion about hot-topics/challenges members are facing.
- The group is seeking volunteers for presenters at future meetings, and project leaders for creating a podcast or vlog series or becoming a programming host.
