2026 ACG Maryland - NextGen Exchange: Between the Clauses- A Fireside Chat on 30 Years of M&A Lessons Learned

NEXTGEN Exchange - Professional development opportunities for ACG Maryland's emerging leaders under 35. 

What really happens between the NDA and the champagne toast?

In this candid fireside chat, 30-year M&A attorney from Venable LLP, Chuck Morton, pulls back the curtain on how deals actually get done and undone. After walking through the legal roadmap of a transaction in plain English, from LOIs and diligence to reps, warranties, and closing day surprises, the conversation turns to the real stories: deals that nearly collapsed, costly drafting mistakes, midnight negotiations, and the human dynamics that can quietly derail everything. A behind the scenes look at the judgment, instincts, and hard-earned lessons that only come from three decades in the trenches.
