Legal advisor on several accounting acquisitions

The Problem

HTA is a holistic financial services practice based in Melbourne and the Sunshine Coast, which has completed multiple acquisition in recent years.

To ensure their interests were protected and that the deals could be completed in a timely fashion, HTA wanted a law firm with deep financial services and M&A experience who brings a commercial and practical approach to deal negotiations.

The Solution

JNP Legal assisted HTA with its acquisitions and post completion deferred payment negotiations.

Understanding the most common areas of contention and addressing these with clarity and transparency was important to ensure the parties were on the same page, especially around concepts such as transition assistance, restrictions during the deferred payment period and on what was and was not included in the deferred payment terms.

JNP Legal ensured that the terms in the legal documents reflected HTA’s intentions and met their risk profile while providing balanced market-based terms.

JNP Legal worked with us to ensure that the legal documents reflected our intentions and the obligations were easy to understand and implement.

The Outcome

Each of the deals were completed in a timely manner, with the protections and terms required by HTA.
