Transactional Risk

The tailored approaches we adopt to the wide range of types and sizes of clients we work with, from private equity houses to corporate entities, all have one thing in common – the drive to understand, quantify, and mitigate risk in M&A activity.

Our team has a long-standing history of working with law firms across the globe. We provide bespoke insurance solutions, such as warranty and indemnity insurance – which may be used by the sellers to obtain a “clean” exit, or strategically by buyers to address transaction issues and enhance their bid.

Working closely with a client’s in-house risk and insurance team, we also provide risk and insurance due diligence that complements the traditional financial, legal, and commercial due diligence provided by a client’s deal advisory team.

In structuring warranty and indemnity insurance and other transactional risk insurance solutions, our team works closely with a client’s legal advisers to ensure a smooth coverage position between the sale agreement and the insurance solution being structured.

Services for the clients we work with include:

• Warranty and indemnity insurance.
• Tax liability insurance.
• Litigation buy-out insurance.
• Contingent insurance in respect of specific identified matters or indemnities.
• Acquisition due diligence.
• Vendor due diligence.
• Vendor assistance.
