The topics included in the course shall all be the subject of lectures except that additional reading material may be provided. Slides will be provided in connection with each lecture. The lectures will offer the opportunity for discussion and Q&A sessions and, to the extent possible, the course will include contributions by market experts in different relevant areas
Exams shall be oral and will consist of 10/15 minutes discussion in English on one or more topics of the course. Duration of exams may however vary depending on students' preparation. In general students are expected to show an acceptable knowledge of each subject submitted to them, an appropriate understanding of the relevant applicable principles and the ability to make proper connections and comparisons, using a fluent and accurate English language. A pre-exam written test may be held, with the purpose to verify that students possess a sufficient knowledge to undertake the oral exam. A final determination in such respect will be made prior to the end of the course lectures.
The course shall be broadly divided in two parts. The first part shall provide a comparative analysis of company law principles in different jurisdictions, with specific focus on the main common law jurisdictions and EU member states, including the most significant aspects of corporate governance rules. We will focus on the relevance of ESG factors in connection with corporate governance. A similar analysis will cover markets' structure and regulation and the role of supervisory authorities. The second part of the course will aim at providing the fundamental knowledge of the main legal implications and relevant business considerations in a number of areas that affect the life of corporations and businesses, including: M&A transactions; access to financial markets through IPOs and domestic or international securities offerings; take-over of public corporations; projects and infrastructure financing; transactions by private equity investors; banking and deal financing; debt restructuring. The lessons will offer the opportunity for discussion and Q&A sessions and, to the extent possible, the course will include contributions by market experts in different relevant areas.
Due to the nature of the course and of the topics considered, a regular attendance to lectures and an active participation in the relevant discussions (although not mandatory) are highly recommended. The modalities of the different activities of the course (e.g. face-to-face lectures as opposed to online tuitions) may be changed in line with general rules and instructions.
