John M. Elias

John spoke on acquisition finance at the IBA's 2010 Annual Conference. The session focused on the North American perspective - leveraged finance transactions for company acquisitions slowed down dramatically in the financial crisis but what new opportunities arose, what lessons have been learnt, and how is the market shaping up?

Panellists looked at these issues and other recent developments, and compared and contrasted the way in which the relevant legal issues are dealt with in Canada, England and the US.
