PLAN FOR CLEAN EMPLOYEE TRANSITIONS POST-ACQUISITION

10

Buyers want to retain key talent without inheriting problems.

Best Practices

Avoid making last-minute promises or undocumented agreements during the M&A process. All employment commitments should be formalized in writing and disclosed. Identify key team members whose retention will be critical post-acquisition and prepare transition or retention plans for them.

Prepare clear transition plans for all team members, as applicable.

Avoid last-minute employment or severance promises that haven’t been documented or approved.
