Guidelines
- Match merger procedure to formation jurisdictions and charter requirements.
- Align consideration mechanics with financing, escrow, and payment workflows.
- Use disclosure schedules to qualify reps; avoid silent qualifiers in the main text.
- Define MAE and Knowledge with clear carve-outs and standards.
- Track no-shop/go-shop, fiduciary out, and matching rights with precision.
- Include antitrust and other regulatory approval and timing obligations.
- Treat tax-free reorganization language as conditional unless confirmed.
- Confirm appraisal/dissenters' rights applicability and process.
- Keep defined terms consistent; avoid duplicated or conflicting provisions.
- Non-compete enforceability varies by state; tailor scope to local law if included.
