Corporate Transactions Handbook
is an annually supplemented legal treatise with
one and only
one mission
- to help attorneys and bankers master the
structural, legal and tax issues related to a variety of
corporate transactions in the most popular practice areas.

Handbook incorporates dozens of pre-closing and
post-closing flow charts and other graphical aids to help
dealmakers (and aspiring dealmakers) develop transactional
"muscle memory".
