Presented By: Brady Ware & Company / Kegler Brown Hill + Ritter

Strategic acquirers, private equity-backed platforms, and family offices each use unique approaches to earnouts, seller financing, equity rollovers, and post-closing incentives to bridge valuation gaps and manage risk. This session explores how these buyers structure transactions, the legal, tax, and diligence considerations behind their decisions, and the strategies helping them compete while increasing the likelihood of successful deals.
