Abstract

No M&A transaction is without a risk to either the buyer, the seller, or both. Unfortunately, traditional risk management tools and practices are no longer sufficient to deal with today's growing threats. The recent proliferation in M&A activities and the increasing attention of investors in recognizing the significance of risk management and mitigation in deals have induced the demand and popularity of transactional risk insurance as a management tool. However, involved parties should carefully navigate the complexities of transactional risk insurance in M&A to avoid future potential pitfalls and post-closing erosion of value.

In this live webcast, a panel of key thought leaders and professionals in M&A insurance will offer an in-depth analysis of the different types of transactional risk insurance and will discuss the benefits and pitfalls associated with each type. Speakers will also provide practical tips and real-world options on how to maximize deal valuations, enhance competitive bid process, and secure a done deal.

Key topics include:

• Current Trends in Transactional Risk Insurance
• Transactional Insurance in M&A Deals
• Types of Transactional Liability Insurance
• Buy-side vs. Sell-side Policies
• Risk Management Solutions
• Elements of Effective Risk Management Process
• Exclusions and Limitations
• Opportunities and Legal Challenges
• Recent Trends and Developments
