Private Equity and M&A

Reps & Warranties Insurance.

If you work in mergers and acquisitions, you understand how easily transactions can implode.

New information can instantly change a deal’s viability. That’s why it’s crucial to ask questions that result in an accurate and agreed understanding of precisely what you are buying or selling – and that agreement should be safeguarded by Representation & Warranty (RWI) Insurance.

It’s also crucial to have the right coverages in place from Day 1, post-acquisition. The insurance and risk management decisions you make as you prepare for the close will either protect your investment or leave it vulnerable to unexpected claims down the road.
