Date: May 20th, 2013 2:23 PM Author: awkward french public bath depends how big of a screw-up happens i guess. if you just paid over double for a company and the books are a mess and you realize afterward you just spent a billion on almost nothing -- and a banker could have easily done a valuation and told you that you were insane to pay $1 bill+ -- i'm not sure it would be enough to be like "hey bros it was my business judgment that we shouldn't engage experts to value a $1 billion+ acquisition!"

Date: May 20th, 2013 2:26 PM Author: bull headed histrionic locale fat ankles You're doing the wrong analysis. Not hiring bankers, or hiring shitty ones without a name brand, is probably enough to get a judge to entertain a lawsuit. The goal in a deal like this is not to win a lawsuit, it's not to get sued in the first place. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2261167&forum_id=2#23235909) |

Date: May 20th, 2013 2:46 PM Author: hot kitchen Dude. First of all, plaintiff attorneys would have sued them with of without the bankers. They sue them for everything conceivable. In order to get over the BJR they'd basically need to show that these guys were grossly negligent. Good f'ing luck. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2261167&forum_id=2#23236023) |

I'm all for workplace and gender equality but asking such a sack of raging hormones to "shake things up" to turn around a company seems like a colossal mistake and she's pulled a couple insane stunts already.
