Tax Diligence, Representations, Covenants and Indemnifications in Business Acquisitions
August 28, 2012 1:00 pm ET (12:00 pm CT, 11:00 am MT, 10:00 am PT)
Buyers and sellers of businesses typically are focused on getting the deal done and the relative economic benefits to each. They often fail to consider potential undisclosed tax liabilities resulting from pre-closing operations, and rarely want to hold up negotiations thinking about the ‘what ifs.’ However, when the ‘what ifs’ turn into ‘what now,’ it is important that potential tax risks be considered, and that the responsibility for the tax liabilities has been allocated to the appropriate parties. This live audio conference will help persons responsible for negotiating sales and acquisitions and their tax professionals determine how to go about diligence of tax matters to uncover tax risks and expected tax treatment of the target company’s operations post acquisition. This live audio conference will also help you to draft tax representations and indemnities to ensure that the parties have considered and properly allocated responsibility for tax liabilities.

AIA Integrated Project Delivery and Building Information Modeling Documents
August 21, 2012 1:00 pm ET (12:00 pm CT, 11:00 am MT, 10:00 am PT)
A revolution is occurring in the design and construction industry. This revolution is driven by the deep dissatisfaction felt by many industry stakeholders (e.g., owners, designers, constructors and lenders) that design and construction services are delivered too inefficiently in an atmosphere of uncertainty and controversy. Many believe there must be a better way but, until recently, there was little in the way of concrete guidance. This is beginning to change with the rapid assimilation of new technology tools, such as building information modeling, creating better platforms for collaboration and novel project delivery approaches holding the promise of better buildings delivered in a more cooperative environment. The principles of integrated project delivery are generating a great deal of discussion among industry players and are being explored for use in future development.
