A Material Legal Issue Can Kill the Deal

Jeffrey W. Berkman

Chapter Chapter 5 in Due Diligence and the Business Transaction, 2013, pp 79-92 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The previous chapters examined the role of the due diligence process in a business transaction, the importance of preparing a due diligence plan as a road map for the investigation, and formulation of the due diligence questionnaire, which should include standard questions common to almost all business transactions, and deal-type and deal-specific questions that depend on the nature and terms of the proposed business deal. Although the target company hopes no negative issues are discovered, due diligence can uncover a variety of issues. Some can be resolved with a relatively easy financial or legal fix, others by renegotiation of the deal terms, and still others are so serious that termination of the proposed transaction may be the only option.
