Course description
Whether a client is buying or selling a company, there are always associated risks which corporate advisors will have to spot on their behalf. For a buyer, this can mean the risk of a liability arising in the target or business acquired because of caveat emptor. For a seller, the risk of a potential breach of warranty claim can reduce the consideration received for the sale.
Jackie Sheldon presents this succinct and informative webinar which considers the legal background and the practical commercial values of warranties and indemnities. This will include a summary of the key issues that are likely to arise at the negotiation stage, and much more.
