Let the vendor beware

Article Abstract:

Negotiations to sell a company often include claims for breach of warranty, but the topic of damages is often ignored by both parties. Standard warranty clauses ensure: that buyers are buying a company, including assets and liabilities, and that they expect and places liability for unanticipated losses on the vendor. The breach of warranty gives an injured party the right to claim damages and if not properly provided for, the courts will decide the amount of damages. Liability is difficult to establish, and the court will rely on expert advice for the valuation. The parties should predict the effect of a breach of warranty on the value of a company for the purchaser and draft a pound-for-pound clause that states in the event of undisclosed liabilities or a shortfall of assets, the vendor will make up the difference.
