M&A x SCC: Turning discord into accord

Post-M&A disputes are on the rise, and this is evident at the SCC.

In 2024 alone, the SCC saw a record number of 57 new post-M&A arbitrations, making them the single most frequent category of new cases. With over EUR 5 billion in disputed value and an average duration of just 209 days, post-M&A disputes have become a fast-paced, high-stakes area of arbitration.

Join us for a breakfast session exploring how SCC services such as arbitration and expert valuation can support businesses and counsel involved in M&A transactions. We will discuss how these tools can be effectively used to resolve disputes arising from share purchase agreements and other transaction-related matters.

Together, the speakers and the participants will share perspectives on best practices, cross-border trends, and strategies for managing risk in business acquisitions.

Speakers:

• Johan Fagerlund, CEO, Mervida
• Carl Persson, Partner, Roschier
• Isabella Ramsay, Partner, Mannheimer Swartling
• Jake Lowther, Specialist Counsel, SCC Arbitration Institute (moderator)

The session will offer insight into the industries most commonly involved in post-M&A disputes and highlight key trends. You will also hear practical tips from both legal and business perspectives on how to navigate common challenges. Finally, this event is an excellent opportunity to network with fellow M&A and disputes practitioners.

Breakfast will be served. Limited seats available.

We look forward to seeing you!
