Types of M&A disputes in Singapore
The mergers and acquisitions disputes may arise in any of the stages of the transaction. Still, most common M&A disputes arise after the post-closing phase of the transaction. One of the most common disputes is in regard with the contractual clause on the representations and warranties. M&A contracts stipulate provisions on the financial statements of the company involved in the M&A process. The dispute arises when the company is not respecting the provisions of the contract; our law firm in Singapore can offer you further information on this matter.
Other causes of disputes may refer to the directors’ lack of capability to complete a sale with financial benefits; in this case, the dispute may arise between the directors and shareholders. The changes in the price of the M&A purchase may also lead to legal disputes.
Dispute that arises in the pre-closing phase may refer to the breach of the confidentiality agreement.
