Duke Wins MAC Cup II M&A Negotiation Competition

Mike O’Bryan was quoted in ABA’s Business Law Today article covering Duke Law School’s win of the MAC Cup II law student negotiation competition at the M&A Committee Meeting of the ABA Business Law Section in Laguna Beach, California, on January 31. The MAC Cup is a mock M&A negotiation tournament; students are given a fact pattern and assigned to be buyer’s or seller’s counsel. The final four teams included Duke, Missouri Law School, Cardozo Law School, and Georgetown Law School. Sixty-four teams from forty-six law schools across the U.S. and Canada entered the competition this year.

“The students’ performance was inspiring. Many judges noted the students’ ability to engage in constructive discussions on complex issues, and their evident preparation and thoughtfulness,” said Mike.

Preparations for MAC Cup III are underway and students can sign up for information on the MAC Cup website.
