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. economy—especially the labor market—is performing relatively well as economies around the world slow. The U.S. labor market is building momentum after years of fitful growth. However, the struggles of some of the largest U.S. trading partners are leading to concerns about the U.S. economy’s ability to grow further. If U.S. growth is restrained, the U.S. Federal Reserve may wait longer than previously anticipated to raise interest rates.

The U.S. economy is in good shape, despite the hit the stock market took last week. “There are good reasons to think growth will continue to be above trend,” says Jan Hatzius, chief economist at Goldman Sachs Group Inc. in New York. Hatzius expects U.S. growth of 3.2% in 2015, well above the 2.2% average annual growth seen since the end of the recession more than five years ago.
“The U.S. economy has finally shifted into a higher gear,” says Karen Dynan, assistant secretary for economic policy at the U.S. Treasury Department. “There is a good bit of underlying momentum.”
