Add mentionThe price stated in a letter of intent is not guaranteed. Once due diligence begins, unresolved legal and operational risks can reduce the purchase price, create holdbacks, delay closing, or end the deal.
M&A attorneys Gwen Griggs and Whitney Harper explain how sellers can prepare for legal due diligence before going to market. They discuss the risks buyers examine, including entity records, contracts, intellectual property, workforce classification, insurance, ERISA matters, and successor liability. They also explain how an organized data room and an early risk review can protect value, reduce deal fatigue, and make the transaction easier to negotiate.
