Questions

What is an assignment and assumption agreement?

An assignment and assumption agreement is a transactional document that transfers specific contracts and obligations from a seller (assignor) to a buyer (assignee) as part of an asset purchase. CaseMark generates these agreements with all necessary provisions including assignment clauses, liability assumptions, retained liabilities, and indemnification terms based on your underlying asset purchase agreement.

How long does it take to draft an assignment and assumption agreement?

Manual drafting typically takes 2-3 hours to review the APA, identify assigned contracts, draft provisions, and ensure consistency across documents. CaseMark automates this process, generating a complete, customized assignment and assumption agreement in approximately 8 minutes with all required sections and exhibits.

What should be included in an assignment and assumption agreement?

A comprehensive assignment agreement should include party identification, recitals referencing the underlying APA, assignment of specific contracts, assumption of designated liabilities, exclusion of retained liabilities, third-party consent provisions, indemnification clauses, and governing law. CaseMark automatically includes all these essential sections and allows customization for your specific transaction.

Do I need third-party consent for contract assignments?

Many contracts require consent from the other party before assignment. CaseMark includes customizable third-party consent provisions in your assignment agreement and helps you identify which assigned contracts may require consent, ensuring compliance and reducing post-closing disputes.

How do I ensure my assignment agreement matches my asset purchase agreement?

Consistency between the APA and assignment documents is critical to avoid disputes. CaseMark analyzes your asset purchase agreement and automatically generates assignment language that aligns with the APA's terms, defined terms, and transaction structure, eliminating manual cross-referencing errors.

What is the difference between assumed liabilities and retained liabilities?

Assumed liabilities are obligations the buyer agrees to take on (typically post-closing obligations under assigned contracts), while retained liabilities remain with the seller (typically pre-closing obligations or excluded liabilities). CaseMark clearly delineates both categories in your assignment agreement with precise language to prevent ambiguity and future disputes.

Can I customize the indemnification provisions in my assignment agreement?

Yes, indemnification terms are critical in assignment agreements. CaseMark generates standard indemnification provisions where the assignee indemnifies for assumed liabilities and the assignor indemnifies for retained liabilities, with full customization options to match your specific deal terms and risk allocation.
