What is a "no shop" clause?A "no shop" clause is a clause included in a letter of intent or other document related to an M&A transaction that prevents the Seller from shopping for or accepting another bid.

"No shop" clauses are quite common in M&A transactions. Related Questions1 Attorney answers:
