XPX Phoenix: What’s Happening in the Private Markets
What the Numbers Are Telling Us: A Deep Dive into the ABA Deal Points Study
The American Bar Association's annual Deal Points Study is one of the most closely watched benchmarks in private M&A. The report tracks how deal terms, reps and warranties, indemnification structures, and purchase price adjustments are actually shifting in the middle market.
Join Juliet Peters (Founding Partner, Framework Legal) and Shelley Detwiller DiGiacomo (Partner, Engelman Berger) for an intimate, practitioner-led lunch-and-learn discussion of the latest findings.
- What are buyers and sellers accepting today that they weren't 18 months ago?
- Where are deal teams pushing back, and where are they giving ground?
- What does this mean for how you advise clients who are preparing to transact?
Seating is limited to 15 attendees. Come ready to engage.
