Join Taylor Cammack and Kyle Dostal for a CLE webinar focused on key considerations for deal counsel navigating the assignment of commercial contracts in the context of a merger or acquisition.

Our panel will offer practical guidance on evaluating assignability during due diligence and structuring transactions to manage risks tied to anti-assignment and change-of-control provisions. Topics will include:

• Circumstances under which a contract cannot be assigned in an M&A transaction
• How deal structure (asset vs. stock purchase or merger) impacts assignment
• Best practices for deal counsel when negotiating M&A agreements to reflect the parties’ intentions around contract assignment
• Proper documentation of assignments or ownership changes

While contracts are generally assignable, exceptions—such as intellectual property licenses, personal services agreements, and contractual or statutory restrictions—can significantly affect a deal. Understanding these issues early in the process can help avoid delays, preserve value, and protect client interests.

The presentation will conclude with a live Q&A session.
