Distressed M&A Checklist

Summary

This Distressed M&A Checklist provides an outline of certain issues that buyers should consider when assessing an acquisition of a financially distressed company and/or its assets. This checklist interprets “distressed” broadly to include companies both in and outside of formal bankruptcy proceedings. This checklist is jurisdiction and industry neutral and, therefore, you should also review applicable state and industry law before taking any definitive action regarding your client’s agreements.
