The SRS Acquiom Earnouts & Claims Study delves into the post-closing period of private-target acquisitions, utilizing proprietary data from a vast sample of 1,174 deals valued over $1 trillion. The study, led by Kip, a senior director, provides unique insights into various post-closing activities such as indemnification claims, claim resolution, earnout performance, and expense fund utilization.

These activities are typically inaccessible through public sources. The dataset, which spans deals from 2009 to mid-2026 with the majority closed within the last three years, offers practical benchmarking and analysis. Kip, who spearheads SRS Acquiom's thought leadership practice, shares this valuable content, authored articles, and data studies regularly used by the market.

Ruth, another director in the thought leadership practice, facilitates interactive presentations with legal experts and strategic business partners, and authors content showcasing SRS Acquiom's data and insights. Previously, Ruth served as a director in SRS Acquiom’s Shareholder Advisory Group, where she resolved disputes related to indemnification claims, earnout disagreements, and third-party lawsuits.

Ruth, a member of the Colorado bar, began her legal career as a law clerk for the Colorado Supreme Court and earned her JD from the University of California, Berkeley. In 2024, Ruth was honored with the Chris Miranda Outstanding Hispanic Lawyer Award.
