## Should buyers get direct access to your systems?

Buyers should not get direct access to your live systems. Daniel Goldberg of Frankfurt Kurnit Klein & Selz advises against giving buyer tools direct access to company systems. Exporting a fixed copy of the approved records avoids that. Nixon Peabody recommends a staged approach that starts with a limited sample in a controlled environment.
