Our Real Estate and M&A Escrow Services provide a secure and efficient way to manage transactions between buyers and sellers. By utilizing a neutral third party to hold funds or assets, we ensure that all parties meet their obligations, even when they cannot meet in person.
Role of Escrow in M&A Transactions
An escrow arrangement, managed by an impartial agent, holds the funds or assets involved in a transaction. In mergers and acquisitions (M&A), escrow accounts are essential for guaranteeing that both buyers and sellers fulfill their financial and other commitments. These arrangements offer mutual protection, minimizing the risk of non-completion and ensuring that deliverables and transaction documents are managed effectively.
Benefits of Escrow in M&A Deals:
- Escrow arrangements enable smooth transactions, even when parties are in different locations.
- Ideal for international deals, where delays in asset transfer (e.g., shares, real estate) can occur.
- Buyers can demonstrate they have the necessary funds or financing to complete a purchase.
- Typically, 10-25% of the purchase price is retained in escrow during a warranty period to ensure seller representations are accurate.
Execution and Timing of Escrow Agreements
Timely preparation of escrow agreements is crucial. Early finalization protects the interests of both parties and ensures smooth execution of transactions. Clear and specific trigger events for the release of escrow materials must be defined, ranging from joint signatures to third-party confirmations.
