Purchase Agreement

A Purchase Agreement is the definitive contract that sets the binding terms of a sale transaction, such as a stock purchase agreement or asset purchase agreement, including price, representations and warranties, covenants, closing conditions, and indemnification. In M&A execution, the Purchase Agreement is the core document that governs risk allocation, and the Purchase Agreement typically drives closing deliverables and post-close remedies.
