Private Equity Strategy Series:
Representations & Warranties Insurance

Once thought of only as a tool to help parties overcome difficult negotiations or in other limited circumstances, Representations and Warranties Insurance has rapidly evolved to become an option the parties consider in nearly every acquisition. But deciding to purchase Representations and Warranties Insurance is only the first step. The policy language is heavily negotiated, and the market is constantly evolving.

Pillsbury invites you for a discussion with our expert panel, including a leading Transactional Insurance broker, a policyholder-side coverage lawyer, and the leader of our Private Equity Team, who will provide tips and insights to help you maximize the value of Representations and Warranties Insurance and other Transactional Insurance.

Topics Include:

• State of the market. Learn about current pricing, retentions, market terms, limits, and new entrants to the market.
• Negotiating deal-specific exclusions. The most difficult negotiations, often under challenging time constraints, involve deal-specific exclusions that arise out of the buyer’s due diligence. Learn tips for smoothing out these negotiations, avoiding unnecessary exclusions, managing expectations, and getting the broadest coverage possible.
• Common problems and how to solve them. Each deal presents its own challenges. Our panel will discuss how to address issues such as extended interim periods, no-indemnity deals, and cross-border transactions.
• Claims. Once coverage is bound and the transaction has closed, what should policyholders do when a claim arises? Learn best practices for preserving and presenting a claim, how insurers are responding to claims, and what the main battlegrounds are when claims are disputed.
