Dispute Resolution in M&A

Dispute resolution in mergers and acquisitions (M&A) refers to the methods used to settle disagreements that arise during a transaction. This can involve negotiations between parties, mediation by a neutral third party, or arbitration, where an independent arbitrator makes a binding decision. Courts may also be involved if disputes escalate. Effective dispute resolution is crucial because M&A deals often involve complex agreements, and clear processes help protect the interests of the parties involved, ensuring smoother transitions and minimizing financial and operational disruptions.
