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.

Scope of Work

Why This Matters: Ambiguous scope can lead to disputes, unexpected costs, and project delays by creating uncertainty over what constitutes fulfilling contractual obligations.

Negotiation strategy

If you're the Buyer:

Ensure that the scope of work is detailed and aligns with the company's strategic objectives. Insist on clear deliverables and performance criteria to avoid scope creep.

If you're the Seller:

Negotiate for flexibility in deliverables and timelines to accommodate potential changes. Ensure that the scope is feasible and aligns with available resources.
