A Decade of SPA Evolution: What Has Changed in M&A Deal Practice?

Ten years ago, Grant Thornton conducted one of the first international studies into market practices surrounding Sale and Purchase Agreements (SPAs), valuation mechanisms and post-deal disputes. Today, we revisit the market with fresh insights from more than 200 dealmakers and advisers across EMEA, APAC and the Americas.

Join us on 6 October to explore how M&A deal practice has evolved over the past decade. Has the locked box continued to rise? Are completion accounts still driving disputes? How are earn-outs being used to bridge valuation gaps? And what impact will AI have on deal execution?

Leading Private Equity, Legal and Corporate Finance professionals will discuss the survey findings, current market practice, negotiation dynamics and dispute trends, and what lies ahead for buyers, sellers and advisers.




Places are limited. We encourage you to register early to reserve your spot.

We look forward to seeing you there!
