The tricky business of carving out a gem: key considerations for carve-out transactions

In a carve-out transaction, part of a business is transferred to a new owner. These transactions tend to be complex and involve the transfer of assets, agreements, liabilities, and employees. It is important to understand that carve-outs are different from other M&A transactions because of the specific challenges and opportunities they present.

Philip van der Eijk and Erik Teijgeler highlight some of these challenges and how to address them in their recent article on carve-out transactions in the Dutch Journal for Corporate Law Practice. The article provides practitioners involved in carve-outs with valuable guidance on how to make these transactions run smoothly. Please contact Philip or Erik for a full version of the article.
