Q. Can I share transaction details w/a business broker/consultant without breaching a business contract? and with a lawyer?
A: If the confidentiality clause in your asset purchase agreement does not contain any exceptions for professionals who have a need-to-know the confidential information, or other like language, then sharing the confidential information with your business broker is not advisable as that would be deemed a breach. Typically, confidentiality clauses in asset purchase agreements carve out exceptions for parties who have a need to know the information but not all contracts are the same. I recommend re-reviewing your agreement for any such language. As for sharing the information with a lawyer for legal advice, that's fine. I'm not aware of a single case over the course of my 18 years of legal practice where a court held a confidentiality clause was breached because the party shared information with their attorney. In closing, given the issue at hand and the 5 year earn out that is at stake, it would behoove you to engage an attorney to review the agreement and advise you accordingly to achieve your objectives and protect your interests. ...
