Akin Gump partner John LaMaster and counsel Caroline-Lucy Moran and Nicholas Antonas have each authored chapters in the new Oil and Gas Sale and Purchase Agreements: SPAs for International Oil and Gas Acquisitions and Divestitures, Second Edition, published by Global Law and Business.
The book, which LaMaster and Moran also edited, provides a practical review of the provisions typically included in sale and purchase agreements relating to oil and gas assets. Among the chapters are those looking at preliminary agreements, disclosure letters, private equity transactions, warranty and indemnity insurance, and material adverse changes.
LaMaster authored “Conditions precedent and deferred completions,” “Material adverse change clauses” and “Oil and gas boilerplate provisions,” while Moran wrote “Oil and gas warranties.” Antonas co-wrote the chapter “Decommissioning.”
