This session will empower participants to provide valuable advice to clients through all stages of the deal continuum. It will focus on measures that can be taken to minimize the risk of post-closing disputes and considerations that are important for the client to consider in navigating through the resolution process when disputes over working capital, earnout calculations, and representations and warranties do arise. Participants will be provided real-life examples of thorny issues and the arbitrator’s viewpoint on each.

Learning Objectives:

• Analyze the perspective of an attorney and an accountant who assist transaction parties in addressing post-closing disputes.
• Compare the viewpoints that may be taken by an arbitrator or other independent party charged with resolving the issues.
