M&A

Protection against financial losses resulting from mergers and acquisitions.

Protection against financial losses that buyers or sellers might incur resulting from inaccuracies in representations or warranties made in share or asset sale and purchase agreements or to ring-fence a contingent liability to remove it from the transaction negotiations.

Who is it for?

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.

Our covers

Limits up to 75M€

  • 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 more than 10 years in the M&A insurance market. We work on a range of transactions including sectors, size and Target jurisdictions. Our team is specialist in insuring representations and warranties insurance for US and international clients who utilise US-style acquisition agreements, and one of our key differentiators is that most of our underwriters have experience of working on US-style policies.
