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.

Tell ASA: What Staffing Industry Resources Do You Use?
Are you getting what you need from your association? To help ensure that members are getting the most useful tools and resources, ASA would like to better understand what resources and other tools you use to keep up-to-date and stay engaged within the staffing industry.
Last week, ASA sent staffing professionals a link to a questionnaire, which should take only five minutes to complete.
In appreciation of your input, when you submit your responses you will be entered into a drawing for a chance to win one of five $100 Amazon gift cards (or have a charitable donation made on your behalf). Responses are due this Friday, March 20.
If you have any questions or did not receive a survey link, contact the ASA research team at research@americanstaffing.net.

Form I-9 Compliance Amid Global Pandemic
Many employers have been instituting “work from home” policies where possible during the COVID-19 outbreak, and they have made inquiries about whether U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has provided any guidance on adjusting the requirements relating to the Form I-9 during this unusual time.
A letter has been sent to ICE asking for leniency, but there has been no official response yet. In reviewing how ICE handled other prior crises (e.g., Sept. 11 and Hurricane Katrina), attorneys can anticipate certain determinations.
With regard to the timely completion of the Form I-9, employers should document any change in business operations due to the COVID-19 crisis and recognize that if a business is closed on a specific day, that is not a business day for purposes of counting the timely completion of Form I-9.
If business continues to operate with many employees working from home, there would still need to be a timely completion of the Form I-9, and original documents would need to be reviewed. Employers may rely on “designated authorized representatives” to act on their behalf. An employer remains liable for Form I-9 compliance, even when forms are completed by designated representatives.
