Asset Purchase Agreement

An Asset Purchase Agreement governs the sale and transfer of specific business assets, detailing what is included, excluded, and how liabilities are handled. This playbook walks through due diligence, valuation considerations, and risk allocation terms essential for a clean transaction.

Liability & Indemnification

Why This Matters: Poorly drafted indemnities can leave a party responsible for unforeseen liabilities, leading to significant financial exposure and litigation costs.

Negotiation strategy

If you're the Buyer:

Ensure indemnification clauses are comprehensive, covering breaches, negligence, and IP infringements. Negotiate caps on liability to limit financial exposure.

If you're the Seller:

Seek to limit indemnification obligations to direct damages and exclude consequential losses. Propose reasonable caps and time limits on claims.
