To Disclose or Not to Disclose? That Is the Question
M&A attorneys spend significant time negotiating the parties’ representations and warranties in an acquisition agreement. Disclosure schedules work in tandem with a party’s representations and warranties and play a critical role in the allocation of risk between the parties. Inaccurate or incomplete information in a disclosure schedule could lead to the failure of a closing condition to be met, or to a party walking away or suing for breach. Given the potentially high stakes involved, careful attention must be paid to both crafting and reviewing disclosure schedules. Practical Guidance has you covered!
