In this week’s video, M&A Attorney Joe Marrow covers escrow (or a hold back) which is common in most merger and acquisition transactions. Essentially, the buyer requires the seller to hold back, or set aside, a certain amount of purchase price funds to satisfy any post-closing claims. Our Boston-area M&A attorneys can help to negotiate how much money such be used to fund and escrow, the length of the escrow and release mechanism as well as the time period for the escrow.
