The handbook focuses on key aspects of the lawyer’s role in the mergers and acquisitions process: structuring the transaction and tax considerations; letters of intent; due diligence; architecture of asset purchase, stock purchase, or merger agreements; purchase price, price adjustment, and earn-out provisions; representations and covenants; indemnification provisions; and the use and usefulness of legal opinions.

These materials are designed primarily for practitioners with some experience representing clients in the acquisition or sale of businesses.
