Solutions / Dispute Types

M&A disputes are aboutwhat was actually agreed.

Post-completion M&A disputes — earn-outs, price adjustments, warranty claims, disclosure breaches — are among the most complex and high-value disputes in commercial life. INDS™ brings the structured, independent evaluation they require.

Common dispute types

What brings parties to TheNeutrals.ORG™.

Every matter is different. What is consistent is the INDS™ methodology applied to evaluate it — six stages, four sub-frameworks, independent of all parties.

Earn-out disputes

Disagreements on whether performance targets have been met post-completion. INDS™ evaluates the financial evidence and contractual definition.

Completion accounts disputes

Disputes over working capital adjustments, net debt definitions, and locked-box calculations. INDS™ provides independent financial assessment.

Warranty & indemnity claims

Seller has allegedly breached representations and warranties. INDS™ evaluates the factual record, disclosure, and exposure.

MAC / MAE disputes

Buyer seeking to exit or renegotiate citing material adverse change. INDS™ independently assesses the legal-aligned and commercial position.

Pre-completion breaches

Alleged breaches of obligations between signing and completion. INDS™ maps the factual record and strategic options.

Post-acquisition integration disputes

Disputes arising from integration processes, employment obligations, or cultural conflicts following an acquisition.
