Virtual M&A Academy 2025

Having an in-depth understanding of the M&A process and lifecycle is important for any M&A professional. If you have a background in corporate finance, private equity, legal or strategy and are relatively new to the M&A environment, you may not have had exposure to all the steps that complete the M&A process.

Our virtual Africa M&A Academy provides you with a deep dive into the key stages, helping you to accelerate your learning through our legal knowledge. Delivered over four mornings in two virtual 45 minute sessions each day, our Africa M&A Academy is designed to provide an overview of the key stages of the M&A process, explain the content of transactional documentation and explore relevant trends across Africa.

Our M&A team has advised on more transactions globally than any other law firm in the past 15 years (Mergermarket, 2010-2024), and more deals across Africa and the Middle East for the last two years (MergerMarket 2023 & 2024).  We are delighted to share our unique insights with you.
