In any M&A transaction, the completion mechanism and SPA can mean the agreed headline price will differ significantly from the final consideration paid and received.
Buyers and sellers recognise the key roles the price-adjustment mechanism and the wider SPA fulfil, and the need to determine value and avoid, or mitigate, disputes through negotiation and execution.
If you're a buyer or seller, our expert team will help you navigate these areas to ensure your position is optimised and protected.
You'll have the benefit of our unique integration of pre-and post-deal experts to protect value.
Our team combines completion-mechanism adjustment and dispute specialists to help principals and advisers reach an agreement on the SPA – protecting real monetary value, while reducing the risk of disputes. This specialist expertise is available to you for both domestic and cross-border transactions, across a full range of sectors.
We're the only integrated specialist SPA team with a focus on mid-market transactions.
Our team brings their insights and experience of more than 1000 deals to support clients on the full range of issues that can arise during a transaction: from negotiating ‘locked box’ or completion mechanisms and accounting warranties, to finalising completion accounts and earnouts; resolving disputes, and undertaking expert determinations.
Thank you for all your input and insight on the locked box aspects of the deal, where we got a really good result.
Head of M&A Large CorporateI would like to note that I was impressed with the GT work - particularly that of the SPA team. That is an excellent product you offer.

We have not used specialist SPA advice before – I think this is something we will now do as a matter of course and earlier in the process. We found it invaluable.
