Transaction evidence

CARVE: EVIDENCE AT THE TRANSACTION PERIMETER

Carve-outs, divestitures and spin-offs create factual questions that are easy to state and sometimes difficult to prove.

Commercial continuity does not necessarily establish legal-entity continuity. Brand continuity does not necessarily establish ownership of every relevant right. A registration may belong to an establishment, product, entity, system or qualifying person rather than the business name familiar to customers.

CARVE may examine

  • Entity continuity
  • Regulatory lineage
  • Operating rights
  • Licensing perimeter
  • Asset provenance
  • IP and brand transfer
  • Certifications and registrations
  • Post-close continuity

Professional boundary

CARVE complements transaction and specialist diligence. It does not replace legal advice, regulatory authority, accounting, tax, engineering or other reserved professional judgement.

Aperture identifies where transaction documents, regulator confirmation or specialist advice must take over.
