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.

Term & Termination

Why This Matters: Unbalanced termination rights can trap a party in an unfavorable contract or allow abrupt terminations, leading to service gaps and potential damages.

Negotiation strategy

If you're the Buyer:

Negotiate for flexible termination rights, ensuring the ability to exit the contract for convenience with reasonable notice. Include transition support to mitigate disruptions.

If you're the Seller:

Secure a stable contract term with automatic renewals, but allow for termination in case of material breach. Ensure notice periods are sufficient to address any issues.

Essential elements

1

Term of Agreement

Defines contract duration.
2

Renewal

3

Termination for Material Breach

Action framework
