Acquisitions, mergers and disposals: identifying and preventing legal transaction risks
As a result of digitalisation, strategic, operational and legal aspects are now more closely linked than ever before. This raises a number of questions:How do companies and other organisations identify and avoid legal risks when acquiring, disposing of or taking over divisions of a company?
What is important for the heart of every deal, the share purchase agreement (SPA)? What advantages does a locked box structure have over closing accounts? How can management protect itself, especially in liability matters? And how does W&I insurance become a real benefit?
