Buyers of a business generally expect sellers to be responsible for certain liabilities relating to when the seller owned its business—a concept mergers and acquisitions professionals refer to as indemnification. Indemnification is one of the most heavily negotiated, and potentially most significant, provisions of a purchase agreement, and understanding the terminology common to such agreements is essential when negotiating a deal. Attorney Paul Pincus of Ortoli Rosenstadt LLP explains what sellers are liable for, how a seller’s liability may be limited, and how buyers may seek to fund potential indemnity claims.

The U.S. Department of Labor will release September’s employment report on Tuesday, and the October report will be released a week late, on Nov. 8. Other economic reports, including the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey, also will be delayed.

The government shutdown may have delayed when the U.S. Federal Reserve will start scaling back its $85 billion-a-month bond-buying program. The Fed is unlikely to start curtailing its bond buying at its next policy meeting Oct. 29-30. Fed officials have said the decision depends on how the economic data evolve, but the data will not be very illuminating into November because the partial government shutdown closed the agencies that collect them.

Four workers at the Volkswagen plant in Chattanooga, TN, have filed a charge with the U.S. National Labor Relations Board alleging that Volkswagen is coercing them into joining the United Auto Workers union. Volkswagen management had suggested the plant would not get a new vehicle to build unless workers agreed to join the union. The plant is competing with another in Mexico for the new vehicle; a decision is expected by the end of the year.
Workers say their right to choose whether to engage in self-organization to form, join, or assist labor organizations is infringed by the threat to withhold the vehicle. Three of the four workers also were among the eight workers who filed a separate charge against UAW alleging they had been misled into signing union cards.
