Summary of Sections
M&A practitioners know that drafting effective acquisition agreements requires more than template language. It demands insight into prevailing market trends, historical data and strategic positioning that reflects real-world deal dynamics. In fact, having access to current market intelligence can make the difference between a successful negotiation and a missed opportunity.
LexisNexis Practical Guidance has transformed its Corporate and M&A templates through a strategic partnership with SRS Acquiom, the private target M&A experts, bringing attorneys a powerful advantage that combines drafting efficiency with negotiation strength. These enhanced templates now integrate historical private-target deal term trends and data-driven insights directly into the drafting process, providing the intelligence practitioners need at the precise moment they need it most.
The enhanced acquisition agreement templates now feature direct access to annual insights and analysis from the 2025 M&A Deal Terms Study 2025, seamlessly embedded within the template drafting notes. This integration eliminates the time-consuming process of searching, downloading and analyzing publicly filed agreements to determine market trends.
So instead of spending hours researching precedent deals, attorneys can now access comprehensive historical private-target M&A deal terms data instantly, allowing them to focus on what matters most: crafting agreements that serve their clients’ interests effectively.
This enhanced market intelligence lands at the fingertips of the practitioner, whether drafting from scratch, customizing internal precedent or reviewing and receiving drafts from opposing counsel. The embedded practical guidance ensures that every provision reflects current market practices while providing the strategic context necessary for informed negotiation decisions.
The updated templates now provide the depth and coverage that attorneys have been seeking, with drafting notes that follow an easy-to-read format and maintain appropriate tone and length for practical application.
The integration represents more than just added content; it creates a unified workflow that brings together Practical Guidance's trusted step-by-step legal drafting expertise with premium industry insights from the SRS Acquiom Deal Terms Study. This combination streamlines the drafting process while elevating precision, giving practitioners the confidence that comes from data-backed guidance.
The initial rollout focuses on the most frequently used acquisition agreement templates, ensuring maximum impact for practitioners. Available now to all Practical Guidance customers on Lexis+ are six essential templates covering both pro-buyer and pro-seller perspectives:
Each template has been carefully updated with Delaware law foundations, reflecting the jurisdiction where most significant M&A transactions are governed. The organized and visually appealing drafting note formatting makes complex information easily digestible, improving the overall quality and usability of each template.
Beginning in 2025 and continuing through 2026, Practical Guidance will expand this enhanced template approach to additional frequently used Corporate and M&A content.
Legal practitioners understand that successful M&A work requires both technical precision and market awareness. The newly enhanced Corporate and M&A templates from LexisNexis Practical Guidance represent a significant advancement in available tools. By combining reliable drafting guidance with historical market data from the 2025 SRS Acquiom Deal Terms Study, they enable attorneys to work faster, negotiate more confidently, and ultimately deliver better outcomes for their clients.
