Transitional Services Agreement

Overview

Drafting comprehensive TSAs requires reviewing the underlying transaction documents, researching market-standard provisions across multiple legal databases, and coordinating service schedules with business teams. Corporate attorneys typically spend 5-6 hours per TSA, juggling between the main deal documents, precedent agreements, and ensuring all post-closing service obligations are properly captured and priced.

Drafting comprehensive TSAs is time-consuming and critical for post-closing success. Attorneys must balance service continuity needs with appropriate risk allocation while coordinating complex operational details across IT, HR, finance, and facilities. Missing key provisions or misaligning with the purchase agreement can derail integration and create costly disputes.

CaseMark analyzes your transaction documents and generates complete, balanced TSAs with detailed service schedules, appropriate limitations, and comprehensive data protection provisions. Our AI ensures consistency with your purchase agreement while incorporating industry-standard protections and operational mechanics that facilitate smooth transitions.

Questions

How does CaseMark ensure the TSA aligns with my purchase agreement?

CaseMark analyzes your uploaded purchase agreement to identify TSA-related provisions, service commitments, pricing parameters, and term limitations. The generated TSA incorporates these requirements and maintains consistent definitions and cross-references. The AI flags any potential conflicts and ensures the TSA properly references and integrates with the transaction agreement.

What service categories are typically included in a TSA?

Standard TSAs cover IT services (systems access, applications, helpdesk), HR and payroll (processing, benefits administration), accounting and finance (AP/AR, reporting, treasury), facilities (office space, utilities, maintenance), and procurement (vendor relationships, purchasing systems). CaseMark customizes service descriptions based on your specific business operations and transaction documents.

How should TSA fees be structured?

Most TSAs use cost-based pricing where the buyer reimburses the seller's actual costs without markup, reflecting the accommodative nature of the arrangement. CaseMark generates fee structures covering direct labor, third-party costs, allocated overhead, and reimbursable expenses. The AI can also incorporate fixed fees, usage-based pricing, or cost-plus arrangements based on your commercial terms.

What is a reasonable term for transitional services?

TSA terms typically range from 6-18 months depending on business complexity and integration requirements. CaseMark includes flexible extension mechanisms allowing the buyer to extend for additional periods, often with increased fees to incentivize timely transition. The AI can structure different termination dates for different service categories, with less critical services ending earlier.

How does the TSA address data protection and privacy compliance?

CaseMark includes comprehensive data protection provisions addressing GDPR, CCPA, and other privacy laws. The generated TSA designates controller/processor roles, establishes processing limitations and security requirements, includes breach notification obligations, and provides a detailed data processing agreement exhibit. The AI ensures compliance with regulatory requirements while allocating data-related risks appropriately between the parties.
