ABOUT THIS EPISODE
When private equity clients ask Jeff Golimowski how to avoid getting sued after a deal, his answer is simple: You can’t prevent every possible lawsuit. The real question is how to mitigate the risk. A litigator and McGuireWoods partner, Jeff represents buyers and sellers in post-closing disputes, which are rising as longer hold periods coincide with earnout and working capital conflicts.
In this conversation with McGuireWoods partner and host Geoff Cockrell, Jeff explains how two statements in a reliance clause can prevent disputes, and why GAAP-based definitions beat hyper-technical ones when a case reaches a judge or arbitrator. Tune in for practical advice on limiting post-closing fights and knowing when one is worth litigating.
