REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES INSURANCE (R&W)
Protects fundamental, general and tax representations and warranties, and other specified indemnities (financials/pre-closing tax). It takes into account risk transfer from both parties in the transaction and provides access to the insurance industry’s capital to allow for the efficient transfer of certain transaction risks to the insurance market.
TAX INDEMNITY INSURANCE
Protects against financial loss should a tax authority take an adverse position. Tax credit insurance provides certainty that tax credits remain in place at the target after transaction close to the protection valuation.
CONTINGENT LIABILITY INSURANCE
Transfers the risks associated with a unique potential liability situation in a transaction. Situations can vary from employment issues, contractual disputes, intellectual property issues and product liability, etc.
These are known transaction items which may become a gating issue should you be unsuccessful in negotiating a special indemnity in a transaction, and could qualify for Contingent Liability Insurance.
DUE DILIGENCE RISK REVIEWS AND ASSESSMENTS
Helps review and assess your company’s or a potential target’s insurance program(s) and provide recommendations to optimize your insurance programs and realize synergies in coverage and cost.
