  "account": "The SRS Acquiom Earnouts & Claims Study offers exclusive insights into the post-closing activities of private-target acquisitions valued over $1 trillion. With a proprietary and mature dataset of 1,174 deals closed between 2009 and mid-2026, the majority being closed within the last three years, this study provides unique visibility into critical aspects such as indemnification claims, claim resolution, earnout performance, and expense fund utilization. These are often inaccessible through public sources.\n\nKip, a senior director at SRS Acquiom, leads the thought leadership practice responsible for sharing resourceful content built from the company's expertise and proprietary data. Kip's mission is to facilitate interactive presentations at M&A conferences and law firms, as well as author articles and data studies regularly utilized by the market. Prior to his role at SRS Acquiom, Kip worked as an attorney at a Denver-based boutique business law firm, negotiating M&A documents, and served as a law clerk for the Colorado Supreme Court.\n\nRuth, another director at SRS Acquiom's thought leadership practice, also shares insights from the company's industry expertise and proprietary data. Ruth facilitates presentations with legal thought leaders and strategic business partners, authors content showcasing SRS Acquiom's data and insights, and previously served as a director in the Shareholder Advisory Group, resolving post-closing disputes including indemnification claims, earnout and milestone disagreements, and third-party lawsuits.
