M&A isn’t always glamorous

M&A work isn’t always high-stakes negotiations.
I remember working on an acquisition of an F&B group during the pandemic.
It was after hours, and we needed to fill in a detailed schedule of the representations and warranties given by the sellers on the target companies’ registered trademarks.
Each one had to include flavour, colour, ingredients, weight, and volume.
Think: ginger honey drink 150g & 300g, ginger classic drink 150g, 200g, 300g, instant bubble tea 200g, instant bubble tea 200g, lime juice 500ml & 1000ml, tamarind juice 500ml & 1000ml, drinks flavoured with herbs & fruits juice concentrates
No one else was available. So I sat down and typed them all out myself.
Not glamorous. But necessary.
Sometimes, the only way to keep the deal moving is to do the work, no matter how small or tedious.
