Closely Held Companies Committee (Lead)

Description

The pandemic caused lawyers from all over the world to think about, discuss and negotiate new contractual stipulations in M&A documentation, such as purchase price adjustment mechanisms, reps, warranties and indemnities for specific Covid-19 related risks, extended material adverse change clauses, EBIT(DA)-normalisations, shorter long-stop dates, other earn-out mechanisms, to mention but a few. What are the lessons learned so far in relevant jurisdictions?

Our panel of industry speakers and corporate lawyers will discuss the impact that Covid-19 has had on negotiating M&A transaction documentation, the issues they have faced and the solutions they have found.
