Ortoli | Rosenstadt: What Exactly Is a Seller Responsible for When Selling Its Staffing Firm?
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.

Avoid Unnecessary Risks in Client Agreements
Staffing companies should not assume risks related to their client’s business and should not take on liability for the client’s own products and services.
To help staffing companies address indemnity issues, ASA has published resources such as a risk philosophy document you can share with clients, suggested contract language, articles, a presentation slide deck, and more—get them in the ASA Indemnity Tool Kit at americanstaffing.net.
