I always enjoy digging into SRS Acquiom's Deal Terms Study. Particularly striking this year is the more than 50% YOY increase SRS observed in the inclusion of earnout provisions. In my experience, these provisions often lead to mismatched expectations between buyers and sellers and are fertile ground for post-closing disputes. TBD whether we'll see a corresponding spike in deal disputes as rep and warranty survival periods and earnout periods begin to run from this crop of deals.

In our latest discussion, we explore the different types of M&A, the sequence and timeline of an M&A transaction, and key considerations and strategies for optimising deal structures, fostering value creation, and ensuring long-term success. #MergersAndAcquisitions #DealStructuring #corporatelaw #mhlaw #munhoe
