Our client relationships are built on trust, integrity, and collaboration, ensuring that we deliver exceptional value. Our team of specialists is ready to provide tailored support and guidance to meet your specific M&A requirements.

Our M&A risk and insurance advice and solutions can help to mitigate transaction risks, protecting and creating value in the following ways:

For buyers:

  • Validate insurance cost assumptions in the financial model.
  • Identify issues that could result in unexpected losses post-completion.
  • Inform negotiation of warranties and indemnities.
  • Help optimise insurance-related protection in key transaction documents.
  • Help achieve post-completion cost reductions/synergies more quickly.
  • Help secure insurance as an alternative means of recourse when the seller is unable or unwilling to stand behind warranties.

For sellers:

  • Identify and mitigate risk issues to counter purchase price reductions.
  • Help minimise residual liability arising from the sale.
  • Mitigate unforeseen separation costs on the seller’s retained business.
  • Significantly reduce management time compiling risk and insurance information when dealing with multiple bidders.
  • Enable sellers to limit their financial exposure for a breach of warranty while giving the buyer the comfort of warranty protection for representations and warranties (potentially increasing valuation).
