Description

Model Stock Purchase Agreement with Commentary 2nd Edition ISBN 9781604429985

The second edition of the bestselling Model Stock Purchase Agreement with Commentary is an essential resource for transactional lawyers. This model agreement is based on the hypothetical acquisition of all the capital stock of a privately held U.S. company by a single corporate buyer. Designed as a buyer’s reasonable first draft, each provision is accompanied by detailed commentary from leading experts in drafting and negotiating acquisition agreements. The commentary explains the purpose of each clause, highlights relevant legal principles, and identifies provisions likely to be negotiated or challenged by sellers. It also provides guidance on when to take a more assertive or tempered approach, and in this edition, many sections include insight into potential seller responses.

The book has been expanded to include a wealth of exhibits, ancillary documents, appendices, and a CD-ROM containing the full text of the agreement.

The Model Stock Purchase Agreement with Commentary, Second Edition is an invaluable tool for both practitioners and students seeking to master the art of structuring and documenting business transactions. Capturing developments in the M&A field since 1995, this edition provides clear guidance on best practices in acquisitions, offering well-crafted provisions along with extensive commentary that explains their purpose and meaning. Alternative approaches are often suggested to aid negotiation strategy.

This guide is equally useful for experienced M&A lawyers handling sophisticated, including international, transactions; for transactional attorneys seeking to refine their skills; and for law professors introducing students to the fundamentals of business transactions.
