Join Davis Polk for a webcast discussion on UK and US private M&A transactions exploring in detail the perception that UK-style deals are more seller friendly and US-style deals are more buyer friendly.
The discussion will focus on some of the key similarities and differences, as a matter of both law and market practice, between the UK and US approach to areas including:
-
Due diligence
-
Conditionality and deal certainty
-
Pricing mechanisms, including closing accounts and the use of the locked box mechanism
-
Recourse by a buyer against a seller and mitigation of a seller’s liability, including the use or representation and warranty insurance
-
Post-closing covenants
