Post-Acquisition Dispute Services
- Purchase price and net working capital disputes are among the most common post-closing disagreements in any transaction. The final purchase price is frequently subject to adjustment based on the working capital delivered at closing versus what was agreed in the purchase agreement. Getting the numbers right matters. Our professionals bring deep accounting and transaction experience to analyze closing balance sheets, assess whether the correct accounting policies were applied, and quantify the adjustment. The team at OAG advises buyers and sellers and serve as neutral, independent accountants when the parties cannot reach agreement.
- Earn-out provisions tie a portion of the purchase price to future financial performance. When those milestones come due, disagreements over how revenue, EBITDA, or other metrics were calculated are common. We independently review the earn-out calculations, assess whether the agreed accounting policies were applied correctly, and identify where the numbers diverge from what the purchase agreement requires. We serve as advisors to buyers and sellers or as the neutral, independent accountant when the parties cannot agree.
- When a seller’s representations about the business turn out to be inaccurate, the financial consequences can be significant. We analyze the alleged breach, quantify the resulting damages, and provide the financial analysis needed to support or defend the claim. Our work is structured to withstand scrutiny in arbitration or litigation.
Valuation disputes can put significant financial interests at risk. The right methodology depends on the nature of the business, the industry, and the specific facts of the dispute — and getting it wrong is costly. Our professionals bring real-world financial and industry experience to complex valuation disputes, from initial analysis through arbitration and litigation support. We deliver independent, defensible opinions of value that hold up under scrutiny.
