Overview

CaseMark's Asset Purchase LOI skill drafts comprehensive letters of intent for U.S. asset acquisitions, clearly delineating binding obligations from non-binding deal terms. The AI structures purchase price mechanics, diligence frameworks, exclusivity provisions, and closing conditions into a professional document ready for attorney review and counterparty negotiation.

Drafting asset purchase LOIs manually requires attorneys to balance non-binding deal terms with enforceable provisions like exclusivity and confidentiality — a nuanced exercise that consumes hours of billable time. Inconsistent formatting across deals increases the risk of inadvertently creating binding obligations or omitting critical protections.

CaseMark automates the LOI drafting process by intelligently structuring deal terms, separating binding from non-binding provisions, and incorporating standard M&A safeguards. The AI adapts to your specific transaction details — from price mechanics to diligence timelines — delivering a polished draft that accelerates your path from term sheet to definitive agreement.

Questions

How does CaseMark separate binding from non-binding provisions?

CaseMark automatically categorizes each LOI section based on standard M&A practice. Exclusivity, confidentiality, governing law, and expense provisions are drafted as binding, while deal terms like purchase price and asset scope are clearly marked as non-binding expressions of intent.

Can I customize the exclusivity and no-shop terms?

Absolutely. CaseMark generates exclusivity provisions with configurable duration, scope, and notice requirements. You can adjust the no-shop period, define carve-outs, and specify breach remedies directly in the output.

Does the LOI address tax allocation under IRC 1060?

Yes. CaseMark includes purchase price allocation language referencing IRC Section 1060 and Form 8594 consistency requirements, ensuring both parties commit to a consistent tax reporting framework from the LOI stage.

What if I already have an NDA in place between the parties?

CaseMark can reference your existing NDA within the LOI's confidentiality section rather than drafting a standalone clause. Simply upload or describe the NDA details, and the AI will incorporate appropriate cross-references.

Can CaseMark handle earnout and seller note structures?

Yes. CaseMark drafts purchase price provisions that accommodate cash at closing, seller financing notes, earnout mechanisms with milestone triggers, and working capital adjustments — all based on the deal terms you provide.

Is the output ready to send to the counterparty?

CaseMark produces a professional, attorney-quality draft that serves as a strong starting point. We recommend legal counsel review the output to confirm it reflects your specific deal dynamics and negotiation strategy before sending.
