Bespoke Contingent Insurance
As transactions continue to become more complex and increasing levels of due diligence are undertaken, we are seeing a greater number of specific issues arising during the deal process.
With many of these problems the concerns are nullified with either an escrow, specific indemnities within the SPA or potentially the parties accepting the risk. All of the above can prove costly and/or tie up funds for significant periods of time and as such we are often seeing insurance used as a cost effective way of managing or offsetting the risk.
Specific issues we have been involved with include:
-
Planning Zoning
-
Defective Products
-
Rent Guarantees
-
Liquidations and associated risks
-
Share Buyback
This list is by no means exhaustive and we are open to discussing any transaction related issues and their insurability.
If you have concerns which arise out of an M&A transaction or have concerns over a contingent exposure please contact HSBC Insurance Brokers M&A Risk Advisory Team (see contacts box above).
