Our areas of expertise in Escrow & Paymaster Services
Representations and Warranties Claims
In all financial arrangements containing representations and warranties, escrow services can secure the effective enforcement of claims (i.e., for false representations or breaches of warranty). In these cases, an escrow agent holds a so-called “Holdback” account, allowing parties to place a portion of the purchase price or a specific amount of money in an escrow account until the agreement’s terms are satisfied or the claim time limitations have expired.
Crypto Transactions
When transacting in cryptocurrencies, crypto-assets, or other types of blockchain-based tokens, most will consider regulated (or even unregulated) on- and off-ramp service providers, centralized or decentralized exchanges. In high-volume peer-to-peer transactions (involving two or more parties), it is beneficial to execute the transaction through an escrow agent. This neutral third party ensures neither party is favored, adding an additional layer of confidentiality, trust and security to the transaction.
Share Transfers
Whether in the context of an mergers and acquisitions deal or a simple secondary transaction, the buyer of shares often wishes to make sure that the seller actually delivers the shares and vice versa regarding the purchase price.
Mergers and Acquisitions Transactions
Escrow services are often crucial in mergers and acquisitions (M&A), where post-closing adjustments to the purchase price are common. Determining the exact price can take several months; and the effective enforcement of such adjustments is dependent on the existence of a robust escrow set-up.
Lock-up and Claw-Back Arrangements
An independent third party is well positioned to safeguard shares in lock-up and claw-back arrangements which are commonly found in employee participation plans, investment and shareholder agreements as well as in share purchase agreements.
Deferred Payments
In transactions where payment for services, goods or other assets (such as shares) is not made upfront, but is instead deferred to a later date or until the occurrence of a particular event, milestone or target, the seller may require the buyer to put part or all of the price into escrow.
Online Shopping or E-Commerce
In cases where high-value items, such as jewelry or art, are purchased online, the buyer might feel more comfortable sending their payment to an escrow agent. The agent holds the money until the product is received and verified, at which point the funds are released to the seller.
Cross-Border Transactions
Escrow services can be particularly useful in cross-border sales or purchases of goods. Here, the seller might require assurance of receiving payment when the goods reach their destination, while the buyer might want to pay for the goods only if they arrive in good condition. An escrow agent can hold the buyer’s funds and disburse them to the seller once the goods arrive as expected.
