Excluded Assets Liabilities

Overview

CaseMark's Excluded Assets & Liabilities skill automates the drafting of categorized APA exhibits that delineate retained assets and unassumed liabilities by class. It cross-references your principal agreement's defined terms and organizes exclusions with item-level specificity, producing a closing-ready schedule in minutes rather than hours.

Drafting excluded assets and liabilities schedules for asset purchase agreements is one of the most tedious yet critical tasks in M&A transactions. Associates must manually cross-reference defined terms, categorize dozens of asset classes with item-level detail, and ensure no material retained asset or unassumed liability is inadvertently omitted—a process that often takes hours and is highly prone to human error.

CaseMark automates the entire schedule drafting process by analyzing your APA and asset/liability inventory to produce a professionally categorized exhibit with proper cross-references, item-level specificity, and gap flagging. What previously required hours of painstaking manual work is completed in minutes, freeing deal teams to focus on negotiation strategy and substantive legal analysis.

How it works

  1. 1. Upload your draft APA and asset/liability allocation documents

  2. 2. AI analyzes party details, defined terms, and asset-liability classifications

  3. 3. Review the categorized schedule with item-level specificity and cross-references

  4. 4. Export the finalized exhibit in your preferred format (DOCX, PDF)

Questions

What types of asset purchase agreements does this work with?

CaseMark supports APA schedules across all industries and deal sizes. Whether you're handling a straightforward small-business asset sale or a complex multi-entity M&A transaction with IP carve-outs, the AI adapts its output to match the complexity and defined terms of your principal agreement.

How does the AI handle defined terms from the main agreement?

CaseMark automatically identifies and cross-references defined terms from your uploaded APA. Where the main agreement lacks necessary definitions, the AI flags gaps and drafts local definitions to eliminate interpretive ambiguity in the schedule.

Can I customize the asset and liability categories?

Absolutely. CaseMark generates categories based on your source documents—including cash, receivables, intellectual property, real property, contracts, and more—but you can review, add, remove, or reorganize categories before finalizing the exhibit.

How does CaseMark ensure nothing material is omitted from the schedule?

CaseMark cross-checks your uploaded asset and liability inventory against the APA's scope provisions to flag potential gaps. The AI organizes items by materiality level and highlights categories that may require additional specificity or confirmation.

Is the output ready to attach as a closing exhibit?

CaseMark produces a professionally formatted schedule with proper preamble references, section numbering, and exhibit formatting conventions. While attorney review is always recommended, the output is designed to be exhibit-ready with minimal additional editing.

How long does it take to generate the schedule?

CaseMark typically generates a complete excluded assets and liabilities schedule in approximately 10-12 minutes, compared to the hours of manual drafting and cross-referencing traditionally required. You can then review and refine the output as needed.
