Make sure your letter of intent is written to be suitable to the structure of the deal.
There are important differences to consider when drafting a letter of intent for a stock acquisition as opposed to an asset acquisition. Which one of these is more desirable is going to depend largely on the prospective of the client you are representing. The buyer and seller are going to have very different perspective in most cases. What the letter of intent may need to address depending on structure includes liabilities, indemnification, taxes and consents. Our speaker reviews these different aspects from both the buyer and seller perspective.
