The management of risk sits at the heart of every M&A transaction involving real estate. Additionally, upon the sale, it is key to be in a position to facilitate a ‘clean exit’ avoiding any contingent liabilities following disposal, i.e. monies held in escrow / keeping expensive fund structures alive. Warranty & Indemnity Insurance (W&I) has become more prevalent as a means of managing these risks. However, standard W&I policies only offer limited protection in line with the SPA warranties as they are limited in duration, and typically have a deductible while also excluding known issues. Our combined Title to Real Estate & Share Insurance can offer major benefits to address some of these deficiencies.
