Corporate Law in Bite Size Chunks: Knowledge qualifiers on M&A transactions to limit liability
24.11.2025
A common way that sellers try to limit their exposure to warranty claims in an M&A transaction is to include knowledge qualifiers when giving warranties. These qualifiers seek to limit liability of a seller for breach of warranty only to the things which they know (or claim to know) at the point of signing. An example of a knowledge-qualified warranty in a share purchase agreement ("SPA") is:"To the best of the Seller’s knowledge, there are no disputes.”
