Representations and Warranties insurance is an insurance policy that is typically used to replace or bolster a seller indemnity or escrow in an M&A transaction. Under the terms of the policy, an insurance company will typically indemnify the buyer for losses resulting from an unknown breach of a representation or warranty in the definitive transaction agreement. Our Representations and Warranties Practice has assembled a group of former M&A lawyers and industry veterans with unparalleled transactional experience. We employ a Partner/Associate model on every deal to ensure 24/7 coverage. We aim to identify potential issues before they arise, and we leverage years of transaction advisory experience to maximize our placement value.
