Program Materials

This CLE webinar will provide guidance to deal counsel for navigating and structuring spin offs and carve outs. The panel will examine key legal, business and tax considerations for deal structuring, economic terms, due diligence, asset transfers, and more.

Description

Spin-offs and equity carve-outs involve many layers of business and legal decisions, including assets to be sold, allocation of liabilities, assignment of certain rights, and alternative corporate governance structure of the new business after the divestiture.

Intensive due diligence is critical to avoid unforeseen risks and liabilities. Further, counsel must be careful to anticipate and address potential tax liabilities, missteps with contract assignment and transfers of intellectual property rights, and other change of ownership considerations when structuring the deal.

Listen as our authoritative panel explains key issues that deal counsel must confront when advising businesses undertaking a spin off or carve out divestiture. The panelists will provide best practices when conducting due diligence, structuring the deal, transitioning employees and employee benefits, and ensuring legal compliance.
