## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Mergers & Acquisitions / Private Equity](https://ailawframework.com/practice/mergers-and-acquisitions-private-equity.md) |
| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | From the data room, list each worker, site, job title and start date the documents show, with the page. Do not decide who transfers to a buyer and do not draft a notice. |
| What the lawyer must review | 29 U.S.C. § 2102 says an employer shall not order a plant closing or mass layoff until the end of a 60-day period after written notice to the affected employees, the state dislocated-worker unit and the unit of local government. The opened text also states that notice can be shorter where the employer was actively seeking capital or business that would have enabled it to avoid or postpone the shutdown, where the closing or layoff is caused by business circumstances that were not reasonably foreseeable, or where the closing or layoff is due to a natural disaster. The definitions of employer, plant closing and mass layoff are in § 2101, which was not opened, so you apply those counts yourself. Whether a buyer of assets employs the workforce is your judgment. |
