Deal Ethics
During the second day of the conference, Byron Egan will join David I. Albin (Finn Dixon & Herling LLP) and Scott B. Crofton (Sullivan & Cromwell LLP) for a presentation on ethical issues facing law firms representing multiple clients who regularly buy and sell companies. The presentation will discuss how far a firm can proceed in representing more than one potential buyer during an auction, and how a law firm protects itself when inadvertently representing a potential buyer and the seller in a transaction.
Byron F. Egan regularly handles business combinations of corporations, limited liability companies, and partnerships, including mergers and acquisitions, purchases and sales of stock, and other equity interests, and sales and exchanges of assets. He also handles the related entity governance and structure issues.

Also, he was honored in 2019 as Chair Emeritus of the State Bar of Texas’ Choice, Governance & Acquisition of Entities Course, which he co-founded in 2002.
