UK Private Mergers and Acquisitions provides clear, practical guidance on the law and practice of private M&A, taking readers through the transaction process from pre-contract discussions to completion and beyond.
Covering share and asset purchases, auctions and intra-group reorganisations, the book addresses the key issues practitioners encounter in practice, including due diligence and disclosure, sale and purchase agreement drafting and negotiation, warranties and indemnities, tax covenants, completion and post-completion matters.
With a focus on the processes, pitfalls and negotiating points that arise in day-to-day transactions, this is an accessible and comprehensive guide for lawyers at all levels of experience, and, in particular, an invaluable resource for junior lawyers developing their private M&A expertise.
Filling a gap in the market, it provides the practical grounding that corporate lawyers, and students of transactional deal-making, need to understand how private M&A transactions work in practice.
