Navigating Representation and Warranty Insurance in M&A Transactions for In-House Counsel
Wednesday, April 17th • 12:00 PM – 2:45 PM ET
In the context of mergers and acquisitions (M&A), representation and warranty insurance serves as a form of protection for both the buyer and the seller against financial losses resulting from breaches of representations and warranties made during the deal.
The in-house lawyer and the outside M&A lawyer have different roles in assisting their client in obtaining representation and warranty insurance for a transaction
Join us on Wednesday, April 17, 2024 at 12pm ET / 9am PT for the next edition of our IHC Deep Dives Series, as Joseph Cosentino and James Grayer of Clifford Chance will focus on areas of particular interest for the in-house lawyer, including:
understanding the reasons for using reps and warranties insurance in lieu of a more traditional indemnity structure (including a discussion of the prevalence of the use of representation and warranty insurance in the current deal environment);
the current state of the market;
defining the scope of diligence;
advising internal stakeholders on how the RWI policy may shape the agreement negotiations;
the interplay of underlying business insurance and representation and warranty insurance; and
how to get the best out of the underwriting call process.
This Webinar will also briefly touch on other transactional risk products for in-house lawyers to consider in and outside of M&A transactions.
Who should attend:
In-house counsel, compliance officers, risk managers and legal operations professionals who participate in or manage mergers and acquisitions.
