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.

ASA Publishes Issue Paper on California Consumer Privacy Act
The California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 applies to certain companies doing business in California that collect personal information from or about California residents. The CCPA affords these consumers the right to know about, access, delete, and opt-out of the sharing or selling of their personal information. California Assembly Bill 25 provides that until Jan. 1, 2021, many of the CCPA’s requirements will not apply to certain personal information collected about job applicants and employees, so long as that information is used solely within that person’s role or former role with respect to the business.
Because the CCPA imposes certain obligations on entities that act as a “business” or “service provider,” as those terms are defined in the law, ASA has published an issue paper, by Shannon K. Yavorsky, Esq., and Judy Kim, Esq., of Venable LLP, that addresses the extent to which staffing firms may act as covered businesses or service providers when providing staffing services; direct hire/search services; recruitment processing outsourcing (RPO) services; managed service provider (MSP) services; and outplacement services. Visit americanstaffing.net to read the issue paper.
