Despite best intentions, some business acquisitions do not turn out as planned. The situation within a business may not always be as it was presented, and unanticipated issues may arise after the deal is done.

Drawing on our practical experience of helping buyers navigate post-acquisition issues, this webinar considers what to do to mitigate the financial consequences of a poorly performing acquisition, including:

• Making, preserving and pursuing warranty or indemnity claims
• Clawbacks and deferred consideration
• Dealing with material non-disclosures
• Quantifying and mitigating losses
• Other routes to recovery

This session will be of interest to institutional investors, frequent acquirers and sellers, and others involved in M&A activity.

This webinar is the final of our series designed to provide insight into litigation risks in M&A activity and how to avoid them.

Our first webinar “Skeletons in the Cupboard – Assessing Litigation Risk in Target Businesses” dealt with how to effectively assess the risk and impact of threatened and existing litigation within a target business. Listen to the recording here.

Our second webinar ““Future-proof”: Catering for Disputes Risks in M&A Transaction Documents” dealt with how effective negotiations before agreeing the deal can help to regulate the post-acquisition relationship. Listen to the recording here.
