Transition Services Agreements

Develop well-governed TSAs that optimize deal value.

Optimizing deal value during an acquisition or divestiture may require your business to develop and implement comprehensive Transition Service Agreements (TSAs).

We utilize rich industry experience and M&A know-how to develop detailed and well-governed TSAs, including assessments of operational and support service availability before and after the transaction. We prioritize risk mitigation through well-defined contracts that take into account costs, schedules, scope and contingencies. Finally, we establish unbiased governance for the contract and practical plans for TSA exit to accelerate results and protect deal value.

Developing a Transition Service Agreement (TSA) is a core aspect of merger integration when the acquired entity is part of a larger organization. However, this agreement is not always given appropriate attention. Worse, it can be viewed as an additional negotiation to be “won” or “lost.”

Whether through the execution of a series of smaller deals or a one-time large, transformational transaction, companies are seeking growth through acquisitions.
