Slide Mergers & Acquisitions Insurance Coming together.

Slide Mergers & Acquisitions Insurance Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A) Insurance, often known as transactional risk insurance, is designed to protect businesses from the various risks that can arise during mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, and other significant corporate transactions. One of the most common types of M&A insurance is Representations and Warranties (R&W) insurance, which covers breaches of the seller's representations and warranties in the purchase agreement. Other M&A-related insurances can cover tax liabilities, contingent liabilities, and known and unknown risks associated with the transaction. How does it apply to you? For startups and scaleup companies, M&A activities represent significant milestones and opportunities for rapid growth, diversification, or market penetration. However, these transactions inherently come with a myriad of potential risks. Due diligence, though rigorous, might not uncover all liabilities, and unforeseen issues can surface post-acquisition, leading to financial and operational setbacks. This is particularly true for tech-driven companies where intellectual property rights, regulatory compliances, or undisclosed liabilities can pose challenges. Explained M&A Insurance serves as a safety net against these uncertainties. By transferring some of the risks associated with the transaction to an insurer, the involved parties can proceed with greater confidence. For buyers, it provides assurance that they won't bear the full brunt of unexpected financial losses arising from breaches of the seller's representations. For sellers, it can facilitate a smoother exit, minimise escrows, and potentially accelerate the deal's closure. Moreover, having insurance can even enhance the attractiveness of a deal, assuring potential investors or acquiring companies of the transaction's integrity.

Slide How much cover
do you need? Cover surrounding mergers, acquisitions or other significant transactions will often be dictated by the financial amount at risk. Therefore there isn't really a standard limit, but more a limit that applies to you and the type of transaction on the table.

Unlike more standard types of insurance where lawyers are only involved at the point of claim, with M&A policies, lawyers are often involved from the very outset - where insurers and legal representatives are closely working together during the entire process. Contact Us
