Ask Alice G (Future Trainee at Freshfields) Anything!
Hi Alice I hope all is well :) There’s a question on the A&O TC app that asks to describe a time you demonstrated adaptability and reached a positive outcome and did you do anything that you would consider innovative? Do you have any tips on how I could go about this question for example?- W

An earn-out is simply an agreement between the buyer and seller where the buyer pays the seller additional compensation if the business reaches a certain performance target. So yeah like R19 says, talk about earn outs in the context of pricing the deal and/or negotiating the price of the deal...- W
