This CLE course will provide guidance to healthcare counsel when drafting and negotiating representations, warranties, and indemnification clauses in healthcare mergers and acquisitions. The panel will discuss best practices, potential challenges and strategies for allocating risk.

Description

Healthcare merger and acquisition deals continue to be strong in 2017. Healthcare counsel on both sides of a deal must identify the potential indemnification and liability issues that may arise and plan accordingly.

Counsel can address indemnification in representations and warranties, baskets, caps, and escrow provisions. For example, counsel can craft indemnification provisions with caps on recovery amounts, as well as limits on reps and warranties survival periods, and tailor an indemnification structure to the risks of the particular deal.

Indemnification provisions allow the parties to contractually shift risk and reduce liability exposure. Effective indemnification clauses clearly outline risks that are indemnified, exclusions from indemnity, and procedures for making an indemnification claim. Differing state laws may affect certain aspects of these provisions.

Listen as our authoritative panel of healthcare attorneys discusses best practices for drafting and negotiating representations, warranties, and indemnities in healthcare M&As. The panel will discuss the use of caps and baskets and provide strategies for avoiding common negotiation and enforcement pitfalls and resolving contract disputes.
