WARRANTY & INDEMNITY INSURANCE
We offer our clients access to bespoke Warranty & Indemnity (W&I) insurance solutions that enable them to transfer M&A related risks to the insurance market for breach of warranty, a claim under a tax covenant or misrepresentation in the underlying acquisition agreement.
​
Warranty and Indemnity (also known as Transactional Risk Insurance (TRI), transfers the risk associated with representations, warranties or indemnities within a merger, acquisition, or recapitalisation agreement to the insurance market.
Traditionally used to overcome specific deal issues, the trend is now for Buyers and Sellers to use W&I proactively - by allowing for the release of capital from escrow, improvements to Internal Rates of Return, or the gaining of a competitive advantage in an auction scenario.
Policy cover:
A single policy can cover a diverse range of known and unknown risks including the title to assets or shares, accuracy of the accounts, taxation, intellectual property rights and environmental matters.
