Program Materials

This CLE webinar will guide M&A counsel concerning key private equity M&A transaction deal terms such as rollover equity; the “buy-and-build” strategy; earnouts; seller paper; reverse break-up fees; and representation and warranty insurance.

Description

Private equity sponsor acquisitions of companies share many characteristics with strategic M&A transactions where the buyer is an operating company, but specific deal terms are unique to, or are far more common in, private equity M&A transactions. Our panel of experienced private equity M&A practitioners will discuss recent developments in private equity M&A deal terms, including current market provisions and evolving trends.

Counsel advising buyers and sellers in private equity M&A transactions must be knowledgeable about these developments to advise their clients effectively. Counsel should determine the most suitable and tailored deal terms for the transaction documents for their deals.

Listen as our panel of M&A practitioners reviews the latest trends in M&A deal terms where the buyer or seller is a private equity firm or controlled by a private equity firm. The panel will discuss best practices for negotiating provisions regarding rollover equity; the “buy-and-build” strategy; earnouts; seller paper; reverse break-up fees; and representation and warranty insurance in private equity M&A deals.
