ma-deal-workbench-review

Produce a structured JSON legal-review deliverable for an M&A deal from the deal workbench API — an issue register, closing/economics package, committee escalation memo, carveout transition review, or SPA deviation matrix. Covers comparing the current draft terms against a seller/buyer playbook or a committee policy, classifying issues, quantifying dollar exposure from the correct value base, aggregating risk totals, and conforming exactly to a provided answer_template.json. Triggers on deal workbench, M&A issue register, SPA/APA deviation matrix, committee escalation memo, carveout transition review, playbook vs draft, policy thresholds, indemnity/escrow/survival analysis, closing blockers.

# M&A Deal Workbench Structured Review

Use this skill when a task asks you to act as buyer- or seller-side counsel on an M&A deal, gather deal records from the deal workbench, compare the current draft terms against a playbook or committee policy, and return **only** a JSON object that conforms to a provided `answer_template.json`.

The five recurring deliverable shapes this skill covers:

- **Issue register** — list of issues vs a playbook, with priority order and summary metrics.
- **Closing/economics package** — holder-level consideration allocation, indemnity/escrow/survival/NWC, consents, regulatory, covenants, D&O tail/expenses, closing readiness.
- **Committee escalation memo** — only the draft terms that are out-of-policy or restricted for committee approval (distractors excluded).
- **Carveout transition review** — IP/domain transition, TSA scope/fees, §1060 allocation, transfer-tax split, employee continuity, outside-date protection, governing law/forum.
- **SPA deviation matrix** — buyer positions on indemnity/survival/scrape/escrow/consents/HSR/material contracts, plus closing blockers and risk totals.

The method is the same for all five. Only the standard (playbook vs policy), the sub-resources needed, and the output schema change — and the answer template tells you the last two.
