Mitigating M&A Risks

In this week's episode of Dealmaking with Laura DiFrancesco, I focus on the critical process of mitigating risks in mergers and acquisitions. Risk management is a cornerstone of successful dealmaking, and understanding these risks early on can save you from significant challenges down the road.Navigating the financial aspects of an M&A deal can be complex. That’s why I emphasize the importance of thorough due diligence—both before and after the Letter of Intent (LOI). By taking the time to evaluate financial performance, understand industry trends, and identify potential unforeseen liabilities, you can better prepare yourself for what lies ahead.I also discuss strategies for structuring your transaction documents to address specific risks and the importance of negotiating risk allocation effectively. Whether you're a seasoned professional or new to M&A, this episode is here to help you learn how to approach each transaction with confidence and reduce risk. Thank you for joining me, and I hope this episode helps you better navigate the complexities of risk in your deals. New episodes every Tuesday!
