TSA Development & Negotiation
We develop, structure, and negotiate Transitional Service Agreements (TSAs) to ensure business continuity while enabling efficient separation. Our approach reduces execution risk, shortens TSA duration, and prevents hidden costs that could erode value post-close.
Value Drivers
Ensures Operational
Continuity
Clearly defines essential services needed to support the standalone entity post-close.
Minimizes
TSA Cost & Complexity
Right-sizes TSA scope, timelines, and pricing to reduce unnecessary overhead and transition friction.
Accelerates
Separation Timeline
Enables quicker standalone readiness by building exit strategies into the TSA from day one.
Buyer-Seller
Alignment
Brings clarity and structure to TSA governance and management by aligning buyer-seller responsibilities, dependencies, and decision rights.
Avoids Value
Leakage
Prevents under-scoped or over-committed agreements that could lead to service disruptions or compliance risks.
Strengthens
Negotiation Position
Equips sponsors with detailed service definitions and cost models to drive favorable terms.
Key Areas of Focus
- Identify and document schedule of IT services required to support post-close operations under TSA.
- Define service levels, provider – recipient, cost structures, duration, and exit criteria for each TSA component.
- Align TSA terms with Day 1 readiness plans and long-term separation strategy.
- Support negotiations with buyers/sellers to ensure balanced, executable agreements.
- Develop TSA management frameworks for oversight, tracking, and early termination.
