03:27- What are some common pitfalls businesses encounter during mergers and acquisitions?
- You must think through critical things before negotiating deal terms – what’s your theory of the deal, why engage in the transaction, and what matters and doesn’t matter to you?
- As a buyer, you must plan integration post-transaction. As a seller, disengage completely or stay involved somehow post-deal. Inadequate planning causes issues during the deal.
- You must have an adequate team of people inside the company and outside advisors like lawyers, and accountants.

- Challenges arise due to varying legal constructs and diverse cultural expectations and attitudes related to M&A deals in different jurisdictions.
