Description

A TSA is essential in deals involving the purchase of a subsidiary or business unit. The agreement helps the buyer preserve the value of the newly acquired business and enables the seller to make the deal more attractive. Careful negotiation of the provisions is critically important.

The scope of the TSA should be comprehensive and address services, third-party service providers, service standards, compensation for services, termination, and extension of services, indemnification and dispute resolution.

Counsel should address TSA issues at the inception of the deal, during the negotiation stage. Delaying attention on these items until the end of the deal can result in delays, reduced value, and increased risk for both the buyer and seller.

Listen as our authoritative panel of M&A attorneys examines the key elements of a TSA, and discusses primary considerations for buyers and sellers when negotiating the TSA.
