M&A Transactions Under PIPA (Bermuda)

Mergers and business acquisitions are among the many different types of business transactions that require the disclosure and use of personal information between the prospective parties.

The types of personal information that may be necessary to disclose for due diligence, valuation and integration planning purposes may include customer information, employee information — including employment agreements — obligations or liabilities owed to individual third parties, and other human resource records, including dispute resolution files.

Normally, the initial stages of any M&A discussion between the parties will begin with, and will be governed by, some sort of commencement agreement.
