Jurisdiction Tug-of-War: Buyer vs. Seller – Who Wins in Acquisition Negotiations?
My earlier post had English errors and was not clear... Here is an improved version
In an acquisition deal, jurisdiction is often a key point of negotiation.
Imagine this scenario:
The buyer insists on Delaware as the jurisdiction, citing its business-friendly laws.
The seller, however, prefers the jurisdiction to align with the business's physical location, arguing it’s more practical.
Who should have the upper hand here?
