XPX CT: Fairfield & Hartford Chapter Joint Event: Fine Print - The deal’s not done until the paperwork is finished

Fine Print. The deal’s not done until the paperwork is finished

The LOI and Asset/Stock Purchase Agreement is a critical step in the M&A process. Negotiating these agreements takes experience and skills to properly protect the client. All of this must take place before the deal can move to the closing table. Two seasoned transaction attorneys will pull case studies from their experiences to illuminate the twists and turns of these final steps. They will share deep insights into the legal agreements, the role of reps and warranties, disclosures and other issues that can halt a transaction, and most importantly, how best to prepare owners for the journey to the finish line.
