side or sell side, these risks could negatively affect valuation in an M&A transaction. Join this webinar for an inside look at the data Black Duck Audits compli…

Representation and Warranties Insurance: How to Navigate M&A Risks

Web Services & APIs: Impact on M&A and Other Transactions

suitable agreement. Using these services can expose a company to compliance, security, data privacy, and operational risks that could disrupt or severely …
