Shownotes

The definitive agreement is where the rubber hits the road. In this closing chapter of our private deal structure series, host Danny Wakeling, Partner and National Co-lead of Dentons’ M&A practice, is joined once again by Sarat Maharaj, Partner in Dentons’ Edmonton Corporate and Commercial Group, Simon Gauthier, Partner and Co-Lead in Dentons’ Montreal Corporate and Commercial Group, and Mike Harris, Partner in Dentons’ Edmonton Tax Group, to unpack the most highly negotiated terms in a definitive agreement and the emerging trends shaping today’s M&A deal landscape. Together, they explore:

  • Purchase price mechanics, escrows, adjustments and earn-outs,
  • Representations, warranties, indemnities and insurance solutions,
  • Pre- and post-closing covenants, conditions and emerging M&A trends

Tune in for an insightful discussion on strategies that protect value and propel your transactions forward.
