Buying and selling companies, investigating them first, investing in them, and writing the rules their owners live by.
Most junior transactional lawyers start in corporate. The first months arrive in pieces: a disclosure letter to check, board minutes to draft, a data room index to keep up to date, a capitalisation table to reconcile. Each task makes sense only as part of a transaction you rarely get to see whole.
The editions below show the whole transaction. Each one follows a single fictional deal from start to finish and attaches every document in full, so you read the clauses in the order the deal needs them, with a short test after each chapter.
