SELS Bucharest on Mergers and Acquisitions
Organising its 7th edition, ELSA Bucharest is proud to host SELS Bucharest on Mergers and Acquisitions in Romania’s “Little Paris,” a vibrant cosmopolitan city where Belle Époque elegance blends seamlessly with striking Socialist Architecture, from July 6 to July 13, 2025.
Our SELS invites you to step into M&A dynamics, a law field that is more than contracts and negotiation. The academic programme is tailored to provide a solid foundation in corporate law, exploring the intricacies of regulatory challenges, cross-border transactions, and due diligence to master high-stakes deal-making. Through our lectures, workshops and negotiation competition, you will gain invaluable insights from top-tier professionals in the legal and business fields.
However, SELS Bucharest is not just an academic programme. The Social Programme will immerse you in the warmth of Romanian culture and hospitality that showcases the best of Bucharest. Picture yourself exploring the lively cobblestone streets of the Old city, wandering the iconic halls of the Palace of Parliament. You’ll dive into Romanian culture savouring Romanian delicious cuisine and enjoying the evenings filled with music, fun, dance and memories, moments to forge lifelong friendships.
This Summer promises you a perfect blend between crafting your mind, professional growth and enjoying your time with like-minded law enthusiasts. Follow us on Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn for updates and sneak peeks into what’s waiting for you.
