Using Transitional Services Agreements in Corporate Deals

Introduction

Transitional Services Agreements (TSAs) were traditionally negotiated as short-term, relatively straightforward agreements where the seller in a corporate transaction would supply simple IT services to the buyer for a limited period to enable the target business to continue to operate post completion.

The intention would be for the buyer to roll-off the services rapidly and replace them with their own solutions, with minimum commitments from the seller other than to provide the services as they were being provided before completion.

As IT services have become more complex and fundamental to the day-to-day operation of companies, so to have the transitional services required to support the success of corporate transactions.

This virtual classroom seminar aims to cut-through the complexity, and guide those involved in corporate deals with IT-heavy requirements and complex separation landscapes to mitigate the risks and ensure the TSA is fit for purpose.
