Arash Attar-Rezvani - M&A Partner, Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP

Arash Attar-Rezvani, M&A Partner at Skadden based in Paris, brings over two decades of cross-border M&A strategy experience to this in-depth conversation. From billion-dollar telecom deals across Latin America to luxury brand acquisitions spanning multiple jurisdictions, Arash reveals the hidden complexities that make international M&A uniquely challenging. M&A professionals will learn how to structure deals across incompatible legal systems, navigate emerging regulatory landscapes, and build the trust essential for successful cross-border transactions.

Things you will learn:

• How to identify and manage multiple antitrust and national security clearances across jurisdictions with varying sophistication levels
• Why smaller transactions often require more innovation than billion-dollar deals, and how to build structures when no legal playbook exists
• The psychology behind cross-border deal-making and why trust trumps even the most ironclad contracts
