Subject: MERGERS & ACQUISITIONS NEGOTIATION TEAM TRYOUTS

Hi all,
Are you interested in testing and developing your practical skills? Does the transactional path call your name? Have you felt left out by the lack of transactional competitions? If you answered yes to all of these questions, please consider applying to represent Campbell at the Mergers & Acquisitions Cup sponsored by the American Bar Association’s Mergers & Acquisitions Committee (“M&A Committee”).
You can learn more about this competition here: https://www.dexteritylegal.com/mac-cup. The competition contains: (i) a written portion (which consists of drafting an issues list and marking up a purchase agreement) and (ii) a negotiation portion across from opposing counsel.
Campbell is permitted to submit 2 teams of 2 (4 students total) to the M&A Committee for consideration. If you would like to represent Campbell, please complete and return the attached application and requested documents to Professor Cline by September 4th at 9:00 A.M. Depending on the number of applicants, you may be asked to be available for a short interview (either in person or via Zoom) with Professor Cline on September 5th or 6th. Please complete the application individually, if selected you will be assigned a teammate.
The 4 students chosen internally will be notified by the end of the day on September 6th. The teams will then have a week to combine their interest statements and submit a joint application (after approval by Professor Cline) to the M&A Committee by September 13th. For the avoidance of doubt, students are NOT permitted to apply directly to the M&A Committee prior to receiving Professor Cline’s approval.
If selected, by the M&A Committee, the team(s) would:

·      Be assigned a fact pattern and side (buyer or seller)

·      Draft an issues list and mark-up a purchase agreement, which will be exchanged with opposing counsel by October 18th.

·      Negotiate across from opposing counsel in the Open Round (held virtually) on either the weekend of October 25th-26th or November 2nd-3rd.

After the Open Round, 8 teams will be selected to proceed to the Elite 8 Virtual Round on January 25th.
After the Elite 8 Round, the final 2 teams will negotiate in Laguna Beach, California on January 30th and 31st.
Please do not hesitate to reach out to Professor Cline if you are interested in this competition or if you have any questions. Even if you’re not interested in this opportunity, please share it with your friends or classmates who might be interested.
Best,
Professor Cline
