Course Overview
The objective of a seller should be to achieve the highest price subject to the least onerous terms and to walk away from a transaction with measurable and finite liabilities.
This course examines common errors and pitfalls in the disposal process and emphasises strategies for realising a maximum value for a seller whilst limiting the legal redress of a buyer.
Procedures for valuing a company and for the planning, negotiation and execution of its sale are described together with the meaning and effect of representations, warranties and indemnities.
The course also reviews the principal points to be negotiated in the Sale & Purchase Agreement to limit a seller’s liability.
