The Business Separation Agreement is a crucial document used when two or more business entities decide to formally separate their operations under Dutch law. This agreement becomes necessary during corporate restructuring, demergers, spin-offs, or the dissolution of joint ventures. It comprehensively addresses all aspects of the separation process, including asset division, employee transfers, financial settlements, and ongoing obligations. The document must comply with Dutch corporate law, including the relevant provisions of the Dutch Civil Code (Burgerlijk Wetboek), employment regulations, and EU directives. It serves as the master document governing the entire separation process, often accompanied by various ancillary agreements for specific aspects of the separation.
