You’ll receive a complete M&A course package, including:

• A full syllabus (ready to customize) for either a full semester course or for a rapid ten session seminar

• Teaching notes and case flow Practice tools and templates

• SIX full exams with answer keys

• A digital copy of the textbook (PDF) strictly for use by the instructor. Student copies of the textbook must be purchased. Hard and soft bound or eBook versions are available at an educator discount EXCLUSIVELY to participants in the Workshop.

• Complete guidance on how to structure the course or seminar

• Live coaching during the workshop as we walk through everything, answer questions, and help you adapt the course to your needs.

This Workshop is designed for:

• Law professors interested in or currently teaching M&A or transactional law

• Clinical, adjunct, or full-time faculty seeking a plug-and-play curriculum to leverage

• Deans and academic directors who want to offer practical electives to their students

• Faculty members who don’t have time to build a course from scratch but want to prepare students for real-world deal work

No problem. You’ll receive a full replay recording of the session, plus all course materials and slides. You can go through everything on your own time — and still reach out with questions after.

The live session runs approximately 90 minutes, including time for Q&A and walkthroughs of the materials. Everything is recorded, and you’ll have ongoing access to revisit what you need.

If there is more Q&A than fits into the alloted time at the end of the Workshop, we will extend the Workshop to accomodate additional Q&A and make that material available in the recording for attendees who can't stay and need to move on to their next meeting or appointment.

This course is built around small and mid-market business acquisitions — the kind of deals junior associates actually handle. It gives students practical, hands-on preparation for the real-world M&A work they’re likely to encounter early in their careers.

Yes! Everything is editable and modular. Whether you're teaching a full course, a short seminar, or an advanced elective, you can shape the materials to fit your program’s needs.

Absolutely. The materials are designed to allow you to use them flexibly, including as:

• A standalone elective

• A skills-based seminar

• A capstone/practical component to Business Law or Contracts

• Supplemental content in a transactional law clinic

Or just about any other way you might need to use it to make it work for your program and your students.

Yes and no. A digital PDF version is included with your registration that you can use for your own personal use and for course planning. For the actual class, students will need to purchase books, which can be done through your law school book store leveraging the special educator's discount available to you as a participant in the Workshop.

The Workshop is $99, and there’s no catch. This is a one-time fee that includes everything listed above. Optional upsells (like physical books or guest lecture support) are available but completely optional.

The course was created by Ed Gehres, Jr., a practicing M&A attorney and author of Acquire Before You Exit. The materials are based on real-world deal work and have been endorsed by a partner at an Am Law 100 firm who uses a simplified version to train their own associates — and believes this exact material should be taught in law schools.
