This is your opportunity to join Deloitte's growing M&A - Sale and Purchase Agreement (SPA) and disputes team.

Our team works side-by-side with M&A practitioners throughout the firm, clients and their legal advisors. Typically, this involves advising clients in developing contractual solutions to financial and commercial issues identified during due diligence, including advising on purchase price adjustment mechanisms and completion accounts policies in the transaction agreements being negotiated.

What will your typical day look like?

The Manager role will include the following activities:

  • First and foremost, help clients negotiate better financial and accounting terms in the SPA.
  • Working closely with due diligence teams to identify areas of risk and opportunities to create additional value.
  • Review of transaction documentation to identify key issues, including:
    • Assessing the suitability of the pricing mechanism (for example, locked box; completion accounts and/or earn-out) and associated accounting based definitions;
    • Considering the appropriateness of key financial Representations and Warranties(“R&W”) and indemnities; and
    • Developing robust accounting policies for completion accounts based mechanisms.
  • Working with Partner to develop appropriate client recommendations.
  • Managing project risk issues and monitoring costs/recovery.
  • Reporting key issues and delivering recommendations to clients.
  • Help build the practice and have opportunity to grow within Deloitte.

You can easily work from home or the office, although it does require the flexibility to meet peaks
