M&A Insurance Due Diligence
We work with private equity, corporate M&A teams, and investors to help review a target companies’ assets from an insurance perspective. Understanding a company’s insurance program is necessary to assess risk associated with an investment in that company. If the amounts, coverage terms, quality of insurance or types of insurance are inadequate, the asset is could be at risk either pre or post-acquisition.

Our partners at Continuum have been working on and engaging with boards on the introduction of Enterprise Risk Management for over 25 years. We have presented to and sat on multiple board Audit Committees and Risk Committees. For more experienced risk management clients the tools and techniques we employ are those required to keep risk systems alive and relevant as the company evolves. Understanding and embracing the culture of any client is crucial and our clients are all very different.
Transactional Liability Services
Using insurance tools to help to mitigate the risks associated with M&A transactions and providing both the buyer and the seller with greater peace of mind. Tools such as W&I insurance are cost-effective alternative to the traditional methods of addressing transaction risks such as an escrow, holdback, purchase price adjustment, parent company or bank guarantee, or to walk from the deal.
Risk and Insurance Gap Analysis (RIGA)
RIGA is a loss scenario analysis programme designed to build upon a company’s existing risk management framework in extracting all insurable risk events and assessing those events which could potentially have high impact on the business. We will examine the loss scenarios against the existing policy conditions and provide commentary where there are gaps. We can then work independently or with your existing broker to do a cost/benefit exercise to review the results in time for the next insurance renewal.
