Career Development Events

I’ve heard about this thing called transactional law and that there are deal lawyers that practice it. So what exactly do these transactional lawyers do? 

A few deal practitioners from Jones Day are hosting a panel presentation to help shed some light on this topic. The panel will walk through the steps involved in a transaction process using a prior cross-border deal as an example. They will cover the various stages of the deal process and give perspectives on the roles the deal team lawyers of various experience levels play in getting the deal done.
