Acquisition of Distressed Companies: Structure, Liability and Timing

Distressed mergers and acquisitions (M&A) can create compelling value, but outcomes hinge on structure, liability allocation and speed.

Join Holland & Knight and IUROPE for a practical, jurisdiction-aware discussion on how buyers can pursue distressed acquisitions while managing exposure, preserving deal optionality and closing on a workable timeline.

Topics include:

• a clear view of acquisition mechanisms used country by country – plus the tradeoffs that matter in practice
• the liabilities that typically follow the buyer, regardless of structure
• the liabilities that can be allocated, priced or contractually managed – and where negotiations tend to move
• how local processes, approvals and sequencing can accelerate or delay closing
• distressed acquisitions completed within local restructuring proceedings
