In today’s special episode on The Deal Room Podcast, host Joanna Oakey discusses the essentials of contracts - from what actually classifies as a contract, to the challenges that come from advising on them. She highlights the importance of ensuring you include just the right amount of details in contract, and the risks linked to too much information early in the deal-making stage.

Joanna provides her legal insights into the intricacies of heads of agreement documents, stressing the need to include necessary details without exposing parties (or yourself) to undue legal risks. Additionally, she uses employee entitlements and its implications on negotiations and the agreement's outcome to demonstrate where some business brokers go wrong.

Whether you're a business owner, business broker or simply interested in the mechanics of business transactions and exits, this episode provides valuable perspectives and insights on navigating the legal considerations in business sales and acquisitions.
