Download or read book Allocating Risk Through Contract written by Coates, IV (John C.) and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a hand-coded sample of M&A contracts from 2007-08, risk allocation provisions exhibit wide variation. Earn-outs are the least common means to allocate risk, indemnities are most common, followed by price adjustment clauses. Techniques for mitigating enforcement costs - escrows, holdbacks, and seller financing - are common. Target SEC registration and ownership dispersion correlate negatively with the use and extent of risk sharing. Target-owners retain risk more frequently, but not universally or exclusively, in industries in which current liabilities vary more, and when buyers and targets are in different industries. Bidder and target law firm agents match on bid value and prior deal experience, but law firm mismatches are common, and both law firm experience and experienced-based mismatches correlate with the use, variance, and design of risk allocation provisions. While asymmetric information and incentives are important, so are transaction and agency costs, implying roles for lawyers to serve as transaction-cost engineers and for policy-makers to set binding default rules of property, tort and contract law. Specific policy implications include: contract statutes of limitations should be shorter; default law should require minimum amounts in controversy and caps on post-closing contract liability; and lawyers should disclose to clients their M&A experience and typical outcomes of specific risk-allocation provisions.

Download or read book Strategy Structure and Corporate Governance written by Nabyla Daidj and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2016-07-01 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the beginning of the 2000s, important changes in external environments have affected the corporate governance practices of firms all around the world. The corporate governance structure in each country develops in response to country-specific factors and conditions. Firms are currently engaged in a variety of dynamic business relationships such as business networks, strategic alliances, and conglomerates especially in high technology sectors. Strategy, Structure and Corporate Governance by Nabyla Daidj, proposes to analyze the main trends and drivers of change in corporate governance of several kinds of organizations: - Large conglomerates. The development of large and complex conglomerate organizations have played an important role in the economy in Japan but also in other countries such as Korea with chaebols, which can be defined as closely intertwined industrial groupings. - Inter-firms networks (districts, clusters etc.); and, - 'Recent' forms of inter-firms networks (business ecosystems). The author examines several case studies and shows how shifts in markets and global competition are reconfiguring transactions within these organizations and are impacting corporate governance systems.

Download or read book International Contracting Law and Practice written by Larry A. DiMatteo and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2016-10-25 with total page 732 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For well over a decade this prized guide has served practitioners handling the legal ramifications of international contracting projects. The fourth revised and expanded edition thoroughly describes the new and ever-changing concepts and procedures that continue to redefine the researching, drafting, and execution of international contracts. More profoundly, it takes fully into account the hugely increasing volume of international trade and its ongoing expansion into more and more countries worldwide, and the concomitant need for businesspersons and transactional lawyers to be aware of the numerous recent international conventions and supranational responses to facilitate trade. All the invaluable features of earlier editions are of course still here, including analysis of key contract issues unique to various types of contracting, common contract clauses (such as choice of law and dispute resolution clauses), contract checklists, insights gleaned from actual cases and arbitral proceedings, and clear explanation of the principles of good contract drafting. The major relevant international conventions, model laws, pertinent national laws, legal guides, and other documents and instruments are all covered, with primary texts provided in appendices. Among the numerous issues and topics that arise are the following: • incorporation of standard terms; • difficulties of multiple language contracts; • lex mercatoria; • liability based upon preliminary agreements; • issues of termination; • regulation of Internet sales; • role of model or uniform laws; • sale of services; • national law restrictions on the cross-border sale of services; • intellectual property transfer and licensing agreements; • franchising and joint ventures; • electronic contracting; and • confidentiality, nondisclosure agreements, and covenants not to compete. More than merely an accessible reference that can be used as a framework tool in the negotiating and drafting of international contracts, this volume offers expert insights regarding the reasonableness of many contract clauses and the likelihood of their enforcement in a foreign jurisdiction. Because knowledge of the nuances of international transactional law cannot be overstated, this book is not only valuable but necessary. An adroit combination of contract theory and contract practice, the book continues to provide guidance to the law practitioner and student alike.
