Though M&A activity has been somewhat suppressed of late, an upswing may be on the cards for the second half of the year. For those companies that do pursue deals, representations and warranties (R&W) coverage is increasingly likely to be part of the transaction process. Originating in the US more than 20 years ago, R&W insurance has become a key feature of M&A markets around the world.

The product transfers risk from the parties of the deal to an insurance company, guarding against potential R&W-related liabilities that might emerge post-deal. R&W insurance is a vital tool which can help buyers and sellers avoid costly and time-consuming legal battles.
