Independent Sponsor Representations & Warranties Drafting in Precision Manufacturing
Securities and M&A counsel for independent sponsors drafting precision manufacturing transactions, from LOI to close to the capital markets that open up afterward.
Every precision manufacturing acquisition has its own gravity. Representations & Warranties Drafting is the workstream where independent sponsor counsel earns the seat.
The typical precision manufacturing platform sits at $10M to $150M EV with EBITDA in the $2.5M to $25M range. The thesis runs on platform plus tuck-in machine shops or aerospace-qualified shops. Most precision manufacturing sellers will not sign an LOI without a known capital partner already named.
How Representations & Warranties Drafting actually gets structured.
Anchor on a modern PE-style rep package, not an asset-purchase boilerplate.
Distinguish fundamental reps from general reps in survival and cap structures.
Negotiate knowledge qualifiers to defined-person knowledge, not constructive knowledge.
Coordinate the rep package with the R&W insurance carrier's underwriting.
In precision manufacturing, layer in AS9100 succession plan as a closing condition as part of the Representations & Warranties Drafting workstream.
Drafting reps without reading the disclosure schedules. The schedules are where the risk actually lives.
"Reps and warranties are a risk allocation. Draft them like risk allocation."Jason Powell · Representations & Warranties Drafting
The deal is one thing. The capital that opens up after close is another.
After close, the call list for refinancing, recapitalization, and growth equity gets short and known. Jason carries that list.
