Join our Dispute Resolution team for breakfast on Tuesday 24 September for our next Disputes HQ breakfast event 

After the success of our last session, we’re excited to announce the upcoming event in our Disputes HQ series: Navigating post-acquisition issues (and how to avoid them). 

When acquiring or merging with a new agency, a range of complex issues can arise post-acquisition. From payment disputes and performance concerns to conflicts over deferred consideration, earn-outs, and completion accounts, navigating these challenges requires careful planning and foresight—both during contract negotiations and throughout the implementation process. Handling these effectively is essential to preserving your rights and avoiding full-scale disputes that could impact your brand and operations.

In this session, we’ll dive into key post-acquisition challenges that agencies may face. We’ll cover the interpretation of contract clauses and dual conditions that can limit liability in a sale and purchase agreement and highlight potential contractual compliance risks when making claims. To make this practical and relevant, we’ll walk through real-world case studies and consider Court of Appeal and High Court rulings.

Our expert Dispute Resolution lawyers will share actionable insights and best practices to help you minimise risk—whether you’re buying or selling an agency. You’ll leave with key takeaways on how to safeguard your interests and manage risk, both at the deal-making stage and after the acquisition is complete.
