An asset purchase agreement details which assets are included, which liabilities are assumed, and how the deal closes.
We tailor the document to your deal, whether you are buying, selling, or negotiating complex asset packages.
In an asset purchase, ownership transfers of selected assets rather than shares of a company. The agreement outlines scope, exclusions, and related obligations.
Common elements include an asset list, price terms, representations, warranties, covenants, closing conditions, and post closing adjustments. Our process includes review, negotiation, and documentation tailored to Bel Air transactions.
Below are terms frequently used in asset purchase agreements and what they mean.
Purchase price is the amount paid to acquire assets, which may be cash, financing, or other consideration.
Representations and warranties are statements about the assets, the business, and the seller’s authority to enter the deal.
Closing conditions are requirements that must be satisfied before the sale can finalize, such as approvals and financing.
Liability allocation describes which liabilities are assumed by the buyer and how unresolved issues are handled.
