[QUOTE="Amma Usman, post: 183610, member: 36740"] Hey [USER=29878]@ashwright[/USER], great question! I have also read the book by Stoakes and I had the same exact feeling. It felt as though I was stepping into something totally knew, so I grabbed multiple highlighters and sticky notes to make points on things I wanted to remember or do some more research on. This should be a great starting point. The other point is that because these books are largely finance-related, there will be few details on the legal profession, though you could make some implied connections to the field based off the concepts you learn. Again, even this is surface level and would require a greater understanding of areas such as M&A - a typical AC case study topic. TCLAs M&A course personally helped me bolster this knowledge at the time. I had also spent some time creating a glossary of M&A terms and by the time I knew it, I was using them in ACs as they had already become second nature. I will make a separate thread of a (non-exhaustive) list of M&A terms to help, and refer you to it. I had also published an article on private equity [URL='https://www.thecorporatelawacademy.com/forum/ams/private-equity-a-basic-guide.505/'][B]HERE[/B][/URL] which I believe should also help out, particularly given that both areas are largely transactional and a lot of the concepts overlap. Also, there is a section of the article on legal teams which again, has a lot of ideas which could be linked to M&A deals as well. Hope this helps, and let me know if you’ve got any more questions!
