Negotiating Acquisition Terms

How I Review Contracts (Without Wasting Hours) Most people read contracts line by line from the start. I don’t. That’s the slowest way to catch red flags. Instead, I reverse-engineer them to spot risks first. Step 1: Get the Big Picture – What’s this contract actually about? Who has more power in the deal? This tells me what to watch out for. Step 2: Find the Risks – I jump straight to liability and termination clauses. Can my client walk away if things go south? Are they taking on unfair risks? Step 3: Follow the Money – I check payment terms, penalties, and refunds to make sure there are no vague or sneaky conditions. Step 4: Watch for Dispute Traps – Jurisdiction and arbitration clauses can quietly make legal battles expensive or one-sided. I flag them early. Step 5: Dig Into the Fine Print – Standard clauses like indemnification, non-compete, and amendments often hold surprises. I don’t skim them. Step 6: Read Line by Line – Only after flagging key issues do I read everything carefully, making sure nothing slips through. This method saves time, catches hidden risks faster, and makes contract review way more efficient. Want me to break down a contract using this? Let’s talk.

Yesterday I was asked to review an invoice finance offer a client had received. There are a few things worth sharing. The offer was for 24 months, sold on the basis that it offers the client certainty. A few points: - the pricing was quite attractive but it clearly stated that costing would be reviewed after 12 months. - yet it also states "the earliest you could terminate the agreement would be after 27 months by giving 3 months’ notice after month 24." So, if pricing can be changed, and let's face it, it will, how does that offer certainty? - within the terms and conditions the lender can terminate the facility for a variety of reasons, 13 to be precise. One of those is, "we consider, in our discretion, that there has been a material adverse change in your business, assets, financial condition or operating performance" So basically, they can pull the facility at their discretion. How does this offer certainty? - so basically this is a tie in for the client that offers the lender certainty they can't leave. - What is the client wants to leave early if their pricing is hiked after month 12? This is what the T&Cs advise: Should we, in our discretion, agree to terminate the Agreement sooner than is permitted under the Agreement then you shall pay to us a fee calculated as follows: (a) the monthly average of the Administration Charge payable by you in the six calendar month period immediately preceding the service of your notice (b) plus, the monthly average of the Discount Charge payable by you in the six month period immediately preceding the service of your notice multiplied by the number of months (in whole or in part) between the intended date of early termination and the earliest date which this Agreement could have been terminated by you. So if you wish to leave in month 12 you would have to pay 15 months of fees to exit. A hefty penalty, meaning it would be almost impossible to leave so you would have to swallow any fee increase. So there you have it. A deal dressed up to offer certainty, but in reality it only offers the lender certainty and an opportunity to increase the pricing. It actually just ties the client and imposes hefty penalties should they wish to leave.

7 hidden traps in design & construct contracts. That impact contractors profit margins big time ($): Are you signing up for more risk than you realise? Australian D&C contracts contain hidden traps that even experienced contractors miss. Here's what you need to know: 1. The Preliminary Design Trap Principals hand over sketchy, incomplete designs, then contractually wash their hands of all responsibility. Under AS4902, contractors must check these "Project Requirements" despite their preliminary nature, while simultaneously being deemed to have already completed their review before signing. 2. The Unlimited Liability Nightmare You're contractually bound to deliver work that's "fit for stated purpose" with unlimited liability - even when working from someone else's flawed design concept. Miss something in your review? That's entirely your problem. 3. The Deleted Protection Clause Most contracts deliberately delete the clause making principals liable for errors in their PPR. The result? You inherit all their mistakes with zero recourse. 4. The False Assumption Risk Contractors routinely assume preliminary designs were competently prepared - an assumption I've seen proven wrong countless times. Remember: those preliminary sketches weren't made with construction reality in mind. 5. The International Double Standard While FIDIC Yellow Book gives contractors 28 days AFTER commencement to find errors that an experienced contractor wouldn't have discovered, Australian contracts deem you to have ALREADY completed your review at signing. 6. The Post-Contract PPR Modification Even more troubling - some principals modify requirements after contract execution, creating endless variation disputes that drain your profits and timeline. 7. The Zero-Compensation Review Requirement Unless contractors are brought in early (ECI) and paid for the design review upfront, this risk allocation remains fundamentally unjust. You're essentially providing free engineering services while assuming all the risk. Three Essential Safeguards Every Contractor Needs: 1. Commission a comprehensive pre-contract design review by qualified parties 2. Document ALL PPR inconsistencies in writing before signing 3. Push for Early Contractor Involvement with compensated design review Because in Australian D&C contracts, what you don't thoroughly check before signing will almost certainly impact you afterwards.

A single clause buried deep in your international contract could dictate that legal disputes be resolved in a foreign court, under unfamiliar laws—leading to skyrocketing legal costs, unexpected liabilities, and a significant loss of leverage. Many businesses expanding internationally assume that cross-border agreements function like domestic contracts. They don’t. Without strategic negotiation, companies may find themselves entangled in complex legal systems, facing enforcement challenges, regulatory pitfalls, or unforeseen liabilities 🤷♀️ Unlike domestic contracts, international agreements introduce unique risks, including: ➡️ 𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐮𝐦 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠: The counterparty may push for a jurisdiction that favors them—often at your expense. ➡️ 𝐂𝐡𝐨𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐋𝐚𝐰 𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐬: Governing law impacts enforcement, damages, and even fundamental contract terms. ➡️ 𝐄𝐧𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐜𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐬: Winning a case in one country does not guarantee enforcement in another. To safeguard your international agreements, consider these key strategies: ✅ 𝐍𝐞𝐠𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐆𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐋𝐚𝐰 & 𝐉𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐥𝐲 – Avoid jurisdictions known for inefficiency or bias. ✅ 𝐄𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐄𝐧𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐜𝐞𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐩𝐮𝐭𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐌𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐦𝐬 – Arbitration under ICC, SIAC, LCIA, or HKIAC can enhance enforceability. ✅ 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐌𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐢-𝐓𝐢𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐩𝐮𝐭𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 – Structured mediation, arbitration, and litigation can prevent deadlocks. ✅ 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭 𝐑𝐢𝐠𝐨𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐑𝐞𝐠𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐃𝐮𝐞 𝐃𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 – Address tax, compliance, and industry-specific licensing requirements. ✅ 𝐄𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐧 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐬𝐞𝐥 𝐄𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐲 – Collaborate with local experts to understand how contractual obligations will be interpreted.

📘 FIDIC Contract Structure – Understanding the Contract Package A FIDIC contract is not just the “FIDIC Book.” It is a complete package of contractual documents that must be read and interpreted together. In case of any conflict between documents, the order of precedence stated in the Contract Agreement normally applies. 1️⃣ Contract Agreement The document signed by the Employer and the Contractor. It formally establishes the contractual relationship and identifies: ✔ Contract Price ✔ Commencement Date ✔ Contract Duration ✔ Parties to the Contract ✔ Contract Documents forming part of the Agreement ⸻ 2️⃣ General Conditions (GC) The standard FIDIC clauses published by FIDIC. They define: ✔ Rights and obligations of the parties ✔ Payment procedures ✔ Variations ✔ Claims ✔ Extension of Time (EOT) ✔ Termination ✔ Risk allocation ✔ Dispute resolution The General Conditions are intended for worldwide use and are generally not modified. ⸻ 3️⃣ Particular Conditions (PC) These amend or supplement the General Conditions to suit a specific project, country, or Employer. Typical amendments include: ✔ Delay Damages (LDs) ✔ Performance Security requirements ✔ Governing Law ✔ Currency of Payment ✔ Insurance requirements ✔ Notice periods ⸻ 4️⃣ Employer’s Requirements (ER) This document defines what the Employer expects the Contractor to deliver. Particularly important in: ✔ Yellow Book ✔ Silver Book ✔ EPC Contracts It contains: ✔ Functional requirements ✔ Performance criteria ✔ Capacity requirements ✔ Design standards ✔ Quality requirements The Contractor is responsible for designing and constructing the facility to achieve these requirements. ⸻ 5️⃣ Specifications Specifications define the technical standards for materials and workmanship. They typically cover: ✔ Concrete grades ✔ Reinforcement requirements ✔ Mechanical systems ✔ Electrical systems ✔ Testing requirements ✔ Quality control procedures ⸻ 6️⃣ Drawings Drawings represent the physical design of the project. They include: ✔ Architectural Drawings ✔ Structural Drawings ✔ MEP Drawings ✔ Approved Shop Drawings ⸻ 7️⃣ Bill of Quantities (BOQ) The BOQ provides a detailed breakdown of the work items and quantities included in the Contract. It is used for: ✔ Pricing and tendering ✔ Valuation of work executed ✔ Interim Payment Certificates (IPCs) ✔ Variation assessment ✔ Cost control and measurement The BOQ is a key commercial document and serves as the basis for many payment and valuation activities during project execution. ⸻ 💡 Successful Contract Administration starts with understanding how these documents interact—not reading them in isolation. #FIDIC #ContractManagement #CommercialManagement #ConstructionContracts #FIDICStructure #QuantitySurveying #CommercialManager

This looks funny, but when liability is involved and contracts are at stake, things get serious 🧐 This is a call to think about the “Essential Clauses for Managing Bugs in Software Development Contracts” In software development #agreements, precise allocation of #responsibility for #bugs is crucial. Integrating robust contractual clauses help mitigating risks and preserves professional relationships and ensures a structured approach to addressing unforeseen issues: 🔑Warranty Obligations: A clear warranty clause imposes a specific obligation on the developer to correct defects within a defined period post-delivery, delineating the scope of accountability for post-launch errors. 🔑Limitation of Liability: Defining the limits of liability is fundamental, restricting the developer’s exposure to unforeseen damages and aligning both parties on acceptable risk thresholds. 🔑Ongoing Maintenance and Support Provisions: Including provisions for continuous maintenance frames the engagement as an enduring service, thereby ensuring that post-launch support is readily available to address emerging issues over time. 🔑Acceptance Testing Protocols: A structured acceptance testing phase establishes a controlled environment for defect identification, allowing for remediation before the final project handover and aligning both parties on functionality standards. 🔑Scope of Work and Deliverables Definition: Detailed descriptions of deliverables and functionality requirements clarify what constitutes a “defect” versus a feature enhancement, ensuring all parties hold a mutual understanding of project scope. 🔑Change Management Procedures: A change management clause governs modifications to the initial scope, accounting for timelines and costs associated with feature additions and the potential for new bugs. 🔑Quality Standards or Performance Benchmarks: Establishing objective performance standards reduces ambiguity in identifying unacceptable functionality and fosters mutual agreement on quality expectations. 🔑Dispute Resolution Mechanisms: Provisions for escalation and structured dispute resolution channels, such as mediation or arbitration, provide a formalized pathway to address unresolved issues effectively. These are the main contractual safeguards that are needed to create a clear, enforceable framework for handling bugs, promoting #transparency and aligning both parties on essential #responsibilities from project inception through completion. #ContractLaw #RiskMitigation #SoftwareDevelopment #LegalFramework #BugManagement #AI #AIapplicationdevelopment

But what happens if the seller can't fulfill these obligations due to financial reason? A well-drafted clause is only as effective as the seller’s ability to pay. If the purchaser is concerned that the seller may not have the financial means to satisfy claims brought under any warranty or indemnity clauses, the purchaser may consider the following: 1. Guarantee from holding company/shareholder If the seller is a company, the purchaser may request for a guarantee from the seller’s shareholders, which may be a holding company or individuals. 2. Retention in escrow account The parties may agree for a portion of the purchase price to be retained in an escrow account for an agreed period to satisfy any warranty or indemnity claims that may arise. The amount in the escrow account would be paid to the seller at the end of the agreed period if no claim is made by the purchaser. 3. Deferred payment The parties may agree for the purchaser to pay the bulk of the purchase price on completion of the share purchase agreement. The purchaser will then pay the remaining part of the purchase price post completion. The purchaser will make the deferred payment to the seller at the end of the agreed period during which the purchaser may claim under the warranty or indemnity clauses. 4. Bank guarantee The purchaser may request that the seller provide a bank guarantee to guarantee the seller’s performance in the event of warranty or indemnity claims. However, the seller may be reluctant to do so as there is cost involved in providing a bank guarantee. Whether the seller would agree to any of the above would depend partly on the parties’ bargaining power. The seller may also be concerned that the purchaser put forward claims without merit to try to set off the purchase price against the warranty or indemnity claims, if the SPA allows for setting off. #malaysiancorporatelawyer #mergersandacquisitions

If My AI Contract Looks Like My SaaS Contract, I'm Probably Misallocating Risk Traditional SaaS language assumes determinism: the same input produces the same output, every time. AI breaks that assumption and with it, the foundations of performance, ownership, and risk allocation. Here are the clauses that look familiar but work completely differently once AI enters the picture: ▪️Service Level Agreements & Performance Warranties Traditional SaaS: "99.9% uptime, API response <200ms"—clear, measurable, deterministic. AI: How do you measure performance? Accuracy fluctuates based on input quality. Models drift over time. "99% accuracy" on whose dataset? What happens when the model gets retrained and outputs change? You can't warranty AI outputs the same way you warranty uptime. ▪️Data Security & Confidentiality Traditional SaaS: "We protect your data with encryption and access controls"—data stays separate, stored securely. AI: Data isn't just stored, it's used for training and inference. If the model trains on your information, can it respond to competitors' queries with insights derived from your patterns? Confidentiality in AI isn't just access control, it's whether your data "leaks" through model outputs to other users. Zero-data retention guarantees are becoming critical. ▪️Warranty Disclaimers Traditional SaaS: "Software provided 'as-is,' no warranties"—standard disclaimer everyone accepts. AI: Does that work when customers rely on AI outputs for hiring decisions, medical diagnoses, or financial recommendations? Courts and regulators are increasingly skeptical of blanket disclaimers where AI materially influences outcomes. Define what you do warrant (uptime, security) versus what customers must validate (output accuracy). ▪️IP Ownership Traditional SaaS: "You own your data, we own the software"—clean separation. AI: Customer inputs + Provider's model = AI output. Who owns the output? Does provider retain rights to use outputs to improve the model for other customers? Upon termination, customers get raw data and outputs, but not the fine-tuned model or the "learning" the AI developed. Traditional IP clauses don't address this three-way split. ▪️Limitation of Liability Traditional SaaS: "Liability capped at 12 months fees. No consequential damages." AI: What if AI causes harm through bias or inaccuracy? Customer uses AI for hiring, it's biased, customer faces $2M EEOC settlement—provider's cap is $50K. Traditional liability caps assume failures are about service availability. AI failures are about output quality, bias, and harm, different risk profile entirely. If you're negotiating AI agreements and seeing friction between traditional language and AI reality, which clauses are proving hardest to align? This is not legal advice. In this weeks edition of my newsletter, I dive deeper into these identified clauses, additional ones like Change Management & Model Updates and so much more - link in comments / featured.
