Chapter 160 in Elgar Encyclopedia of Mergers and Acquisitions, 2026, pp 429-430 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This chapter addresses Transitional Service Agreements (TSA) in M&A, focusing on how sellers temporarily provide internal services to buyers post-deal. It details TSA components, including service descriptions, performance expectations, termination terms and legal frameworks. The chapter emphasizes TSAs’ role in minimizing operational risks, overcoming information asymmetry and enabling smoother transitions during integration, reducing potential disruptions for acquirers.
