Buyers and sellers of businesses in the Asia Pacific region face an increasingly complex business and regulatory environment. Today, parties to a sale need to consider a broad array of compliance risks, including those relating to anti-bribery, sanctions, data protection/cyber security, antitrust and employment (such as ‘Me Too’) matters. A cross-jurisdictional panel will discuss how parties assess these risks in the M&A context as well as the increasing use of warranty & indemnity insurance in the Asia-Pacific region as sellers (especially private equity sellers) seek to exit investments on a non-recourse, or limited-recourse basis. The panel will also cover when and how sellers and buyers deploy such insurance in the sales process – including in ‘hot’ auctions – across jurisdictions.
