Such M&A disputes – which range from breach of warranty and fraud claims to disagreements over price adjustments, earn-outs, material adverse change, leakage in locked box transactions, and many others – are more common than many participants in M&A transactions may realise. They can take years to resolve and cost many millions of pounds, euros, or dollars. A dispute can adversely affect the post-transaction environment and hence the prospects of a successful acquisition or, at worst, frustrate a deal entirely. It is, therefore, crucial to understand how such disputes happen, how they can be resolved, and how to avoid them, or at least minimise the potential for their occurrence. This vital book is a deeply informed analysis of what goes wrong in deals that leads to disputes and how to avoid (or resolve) such eventualities.

Abstract

M&A disputes, which range from breach of warranty and fraud claims to disagreements over price adjustments, earn-outs, material adverse change clauses and many others – are more common than many participants in M&A transactions may realise. They can take years to resolve and cost many millions of pounds, euros, or dollars. A dispute can adversely affect the post-transaction environment and hence the prospects of a successful acquisition or, at worst, frustrate a deal entirely. It is therefore vital to understand how such disputes happen, how they can be resolved, and how to avoid them, or at least minimise the potential for an M&A dispute. This indispensable practice guide provides not only a comprehensive discussion of the ‘mechanics’ of M&A transactions and purchase price adjustments but also a deeply informed analysis of what goes wrong in deals that leads to disputes and how to avoid (or resolve) such eventualities
