My Company has been going through some acquisitions in recent months. The
legal department is in charge of handling the closing documents and
diligence materials. Previously we've been practicing a 10 year retention
but an ongoing debate is now surfacing to keep those records permanently.
I'd like to hear how other Records Managers handle M&A documents.
Please advise.

Well, I won't advise, but I will point out - that it is likely that the
acquisition is accomplished through an acquisition agreement - a contract.
And the agreement and certain of the supporting documents may be
considered to be kept for the life of the contract, plus (x). So you might
determine what, exactly, the "Life of the Contract" is. And base your
retention on that.
Just to repeat: that's not advice, mind you. Just an observation.
