Labor Enforcement Risk Is Reshaping Deal Terms in Staffing-Heavy Sectors
Corporate partner Amy Lott wrote an article, "Labor Enforcement Risk Is Reshaping Deal Terms in Staffing-Heavy Sectors," published in the Association of Corporate Counsel (ACC)’s Fall Newsletter. The article highlights how heightened immigration enforcement is fundamentally altering M&A deals in labor-reliant industries.
Amy analyzes how recent immigration reforms are driving buyers to extend diligence timelines, intensify I-9 compliance reviews, and build operational risk directly into deal structures and pricing. "Immigration compliance is no longer a back-office issue; it's front and center in M&A diligence," she writes, emphasizing the critical importance of proactive compliance readiness for sellers seeking to preserve deal value.
The article follows Amy’s recent participation in an ACC panel on the same topic, titled “ICEd Deals: The Impact of Immigration Reform on M&A Deals."
