The Financial Lawyers Conference and The Lowell Milken Institute for Business Law and Policy at UCLA School of Law jointly sponsored a full-day program on topics fundamental to commercial transactions.

This program is designed for professionals involved in commercial transactions but who are not yet expert in this field, either because they are relatively new to it or do not deal with it routinely. Professionals who are lawyers, financial advisors, bankers, analysts and managers at hedge, private equity and other types of funds, and others who advise companies involved in commercial transactions, benefit from this program. In addition to providing a foundation of knowledge, the program allows attendees to establish and cultivate contacts with others involved in this arena. Senior members of the institutions who receive this invitation are encouraged to involve their junior team members in this program.
