International M and A: The Stumbling Block of Personal Information

International M&A is not a new subject.  However, increasing compliance hurdles and the use of information technology to manage data present greater opportunities for success OR failure in a transaction.  Do you know the US and non-US laws well enough to clear these hurdles?  As regulators become more assertive in protecting personal information, what specific steps should a selling company take?  Can an electronic deal room be accessible from outside Europe?  How can a prospective buyer acquire adequate information about key non-US employees?  Has the increasing focus on data protection given European Works Councils and other unions another weapon?  A panel of M&A professionals will share practical guidance on the topic using real world examples.  Take home a solid understanding of the law and useful suggestions for due diligence and compliance.
