Avoiding Materially Adverse Side Effects: Drafting and Negotiating MAE Clauses

 
What constitutes a Material Adverse Effect is one of the most critical and highly-negotiated provisions in a typical M&A transaction. Understanding the nuances of the MAE definition and how the concept is used in an acquisition agreement has serious implications for allocation of risk between the parties, and may allow a buyer to walk away from a deal. This on-demand webinar assists M&A practitioners to avoid pitfalls in negotiating these provisions. The on-demand webinar will refine comprehension of MAE clauses in private company transactions and the competing impact on buyers and sellers. The program will address considerations in drafting MAE clauses, from both the buyer’s and seller’s perspectives, and will also review critical case law and historical and current data with respect to MAE provisions.
