Take a closer look at managing your business in a downturn

Given the global economic crisis, business now finds itself in extraordinary times. Fasken Martineau and Deloitte have combined their expertise to provide a legal and financial perspective on important aspects of managing your business. Join us for an informative seminar on issues affecting your business.

Options are limited but not extinct

We will discuss how restrictive credit market conditions are affecting venture capital, private equity and alternatives to accessing these financing sources. We will also discuss recent M&A trends.

When the numbers are too good to be true

Current economic conditions are expected to lead to an increase in supplier and employee fraud. Find out whether you have appropriate policies and anti-fraud measures in place. We'll also discuss how to avoid, investigate and litigate fraud.

Is it time to restructure?
