BACKGROUND
The UCLA Law Center for the Study of Mergers and Acquisitions, directed by Professor Samuel C. Thompson, Jr., was established at UCLA in 2003 to examine corporate, securities, tax, antitrust, and other legal
and economic issues that arise in mergers and acquisitions. An important part of the Center's mission is to sponsor continuing legal education programs addressing these issues. This is the second year that the Center has held the Corporate Institute.

Mergers and acquisitions play a vital role within the corporate finance industry. Mergers take place when a company is purchased with the objective of merging with one or more companies to establish a larger corporate entity. Acquisitions take place when one company takes over another company. Mergers and acquisitions are especially appealing to investors because they can raise or lower the value of company stocks.
