Any organisation who wants to insure the risks arising during a transaction. We can underwrite transactions globally and provide customised coverage tailored to the details of the transaction and within transaction timeframes.

• We offer a range of M&A insurance products tailored to a particular transaction including:
• Warranty and indemnity (“W&I”) insurance, to protect the seller or buyer from losses arising out of a breach of a warranty in a share purchase agreement or management warranty deed, as well as a call under a general tax covenant.
• Representation and warranties insurance, the US equivalent of W&I insurance, protecting the seller or buyer from losses arising out of breach of a representation in an acquisition agreement as well as the pre-closing tax indemnity.
• Contingent risk insurance which provides cover to a seller or buyer for losses arising out of a specific, identified contingent risk.
• We have highly skilled underwriters many of whom have spent 10 years + in the M&A insurance market. We work on a range of transactions including sectors, size and Target jurisdictions. From our London market team we have a particular specialty of insuring representations and warranties insurance for US and international clients who utilise US-style acquisition agreements, and one of our key differentiators is that all of our underwriters in London have experience of working on US-style policies.
