A seller’s understanding of the potential impact that COVID-19 might have on its own target’s business could be an important factor in its negotiations with potential buyers.  In this Legal Insights Podcast, members of the Eversheds Sutherland (US) Insurance Transactions team convene to discuss the importance of the seller’s due diligence of its own target in light of recent developments and how a seller might undertake this “self” due diligence.
