Mergers and Acquisitions from A to Z

Andrew J. Sherman · 2006
80/100
👍 Worth It

Sherman's handbook earns its reputation as the go-to M&A reference for business professionals who need to get up to speed fast — the checklists and sample documents alone justify the price for anyone entering a transaction. The U.S.-law orientation and the speed at which tax and regulatory details date mean you should confirm edition currency before relying on specifics. For what it is — a practical, surprisingly readable desk reference — it delivers consistently.
