Description
It is only a few words in the remedy provision of an acquisition agreement. Sometimes it is neither debated nor amended from the first draft to signing. And sometimes parties spend whole negotiation sessions on the subject. How important are those buzz words? What do they mean in various jurisdictions? And what are viable compromises? The panel will discuss those questions and, hopefully, give some answers.
