Very impressive content. Iam in progress of presenting my thesis. Brett's inputs from seller point of view were quite insightful and to the point. Thank you..
Hey Brett! I go to Mccombs school of business here in Austin where I study M&A. Your videos make it super easy and straightforward to grasp the concepts. Thank you for that (Y)
Great video! thank you! Please can you do a video on Sale and Purchase Agreements. The core provisions that must be included e.g. consideration, lockbox/completion accounts, Reps/warranties etc and boiler plates. Also how it can differ for Asset sale and Share sale. Thank you.
Hi Brett, If I was looking to purchase a construction company, would I take care over there licenses that they have for the states they work in or, would I have to get licensed in those states? Or what if I was able to strike a deal where I keep 80% equity of the company and the current owner keeps the remaining 20% how would those deals work out?
Very nice set of M&A videos for recent graduates going into the industry and have some "recap pitch" for interviews and daily professional questions overall. Made some notes out of it ;-)

Hello Brett, It seems there’s a interconnected relationship between M&A and Private Equity, but yet I also noticed that firms have listed the two as separate areas of work within the corporate practice. With that said, I was wondering if you could make a video discussing PE work similar to the way you covered M&A in this video so that we can learn more about the area of PE practice? Thank you for this video!
M&A is a primary tool that PE uses. They have M&A, which we can think of as acquisitions of entire businesses, and investments where they take minority or majority positions in businesses (but not entire ownership/control). So, they are definitely related fields. I don't know if/when I'll get around to unpacking PE with videos, though. For now, I am focused on getting back to putting more M&A content out into the world!
I'm applying as an HR coordinator for M&A, I've been in the customer service industry for a very long time, but now I feel like this is the biggest switch of my career. Can I manage it? What do you think?
Can you explain a all stock deal merger? T-mobile is merging with sprint. What would happen to sprint shares? The all-stock deal was originally valued at $26 billion. Now that those T-Mobile shares have moved, the deal is worth $40 billion.
Hi Brett, Great content and i love your manner of speaking and using colloquial expressions to get a point across. :) Anyway, i was wondering if your tips are given from a perspective where both companies (buyer/seller) are in the same country. What then happens when they aren't? Are there any considerations for the regulations that these companies have in their respective countries? Y know applications that have to be made, docs that have to be filed etc. Would appreciate ur thoughts on this. Thanks!!
What is the difference between what an M&A lawyer does vs. an M&A Investment banker? It seems the investment banker does nothing other than source deals and have a big rolodex.
M&A investment bankers do a lot more than M&A lawyers, IB principally structure the deal, write the explanatory statements, do the financials and all the valuations. IB do the heavy lifting, lawyers do the finishing.
thank you. I'm leaning that direction, too. Not much I can do about the music on this video, but in recent ones we are using it again, and I'm thinking about getting rid of it. We have already lowered it considerably. Again, thank you for giving your opinion on this issue!
Brett Cenkus no problem man. Love the content! Definitely learning a lot. I asked another question on one of your other videos actually about Business Valuing.
Verbally means related to words. So, all contracts are verbal. Sometimes we use "spoken" instead of oral to distinguish, e.g., "this agreement supersedes all related agreements, whether written or spoken, between the parties." In any case, "oral" contract is a commonly used term in the legal profession.
You're videos are turning out to be a large factor in my decision to embark on an 8 year journey to become an M & A lawyer. Many thanks 🙌
You're welcome - so glad to hear that!
Fantastic! Really enjoying listening to you talking about this!

great video! very informative!
thankyou 👍
We are grateful for this information. When you get time, could you kindly prepare a talk on "vendor-side legal due diligence" in the context of M&A?
Joseph, to clarify, you are referring to sell-side due diligence, correct?
@@BrettCenkus yes. Thanks
@@josephomwenga1868 okay, we will add that to the list of upcoming videos
You are absolutely the best!
Thank you!

No need for background music for twenty minutes.

Little tip for you: contracts are never done "orally", unless you literally eat them after signing. They are done verbally.
Verbally means related to words. So, all contracts are verbal. Sometimes we use "spoken" instead of oral to distinguish, e.g., "this agreement supersedes all related agreements, whether written or spoken, between the parties." In any case, "oral" contract is a commonly used term in the legal profession.
