M&A Insurance
In mergers, acquisitions and divestments of businesses or real estate, you are faced with a number of risks – both as a buyer and as a seller. These risks can be challenging to predict and of different nature. To manage these risks, utilizing transaction-related insurances may be beneficial, such insurances are collectively referred to as M&A insurance. The M&A insurances are used in transactions by both sellers and buyers who want to mitigate transaction-related risks and costs, facilitate transaction processes, and enhance deal value.
M&A-related risks often require tailor-made insurance solutions that are adapted specifically to the transaction at hand and to the unique risk profile of the target company or property. There are several types of M&A insurances that can manage different risks in one and the same transaction. Below, we list a selection of M&A insurances available. Please follow the links provided for further information.
If you want to know more about our M&A-related products and services, or have other queries, do not hesitate to contact our specialists.

Warranty & Indemnity Insurance (W&I Insurance)
The W&I insurance provides the buyer of a company with financial protection against breaches of the seller’s warranties under the share purchase agreement or asset purchase agreement. A W&I insurance can efficiently remove the seller’s financial exposure from warranty breaches by transferring the exposure to the insurance market.
M&A Insurance in Real Estate
M&A insurances specifically adapted to real estate transactions.
Tax Liability Insurance
A tax liability insurance can cover known and potential tax and VAT risks. It can be relevant both in transactions and in reorganisations. It can also be used to manage certain tax risks that are linked to a company’s ongoing operations.
Known Risk Insurance
Tailored insurance solutions for known risks that generally are not coverable under the W&I insurance or tax liability insurance.
