Détails des produits

Privacy concerns are increasingly at the forefront of business leaders’, consumers’ and the media’s attention. And when it comes to deal attorneys scoping out a new transaction, the situation is no different.

The Practitioner’s Guide to Privacy in M&A is the first Canadian book to specifically examine, and offer solutions to, the privacy issues that can arise during a mergers and acquisitions (M&A) transaction. It is intended to provide the background necessary to help practitioners in their structuring and negotiation of a commercial transaction, in the drafting of the necessary paperwork, and in the resolution of post-closing or transitional challenges.

The text is divided into two parts:

  • Part I: Specific privacy-related issues that can arise during a commercial transaction – personal health information, employment records, cybersecurity, cross-border data transfers, data breaches, and more
  • Part II: Solutions to address these privacy-related issues specific to M&A at the pre-, during-, and post-closing stages – preliminary considerations, due diligence, representation and warranty insurance, and more

The authors demonstrate that the risk of encountering a serious privacy breach can be reduced through solid governance programs based on compliant policies, procedures, training and regular testing.

Who Should Read This Book
The Practitioner’s Guide to Privacy in M&A will serve as a valuable resource for lawyers practicing in M&A, in-house counsel, legal advisors and business professionals working anywhere in Canada. It will assist readers to identify, address, and mitigate the principal privacy issues that can arise in the context of a merger and acquisition transaction.
