About the Course:

This webinar presents unique insights into Representations & Warranties insurance. (R&W insurance provides coverage for claims arising from a breach of representations and warranties.) R&W insurance is becoming critical in managing risks in acquisitions, bridging pricing gaps, protecting against insolvencies and indispensable in jurisdictions where enforcement of judgments is questionable.

• How closely should R&W insurance mirror the purchase agreements?
• To what extent should the purchase of R&W coverage reduce the importance of due diligence?
• How can R&W insurance reduce the risk of private equity limited partners experiencing clawbacks from general partners?
• How do defense costs impact deductibles and retentions?
• What are "parallel policies"?
• To what extent are criminal fines and penalties excluded from R&W policies?
• To what extent is R&W insurance used in the acquisition of publicly-traded companies?
• Why is it important to review data rooms thoroughly when conducting due diligence?
• Where does the intersection of R&W insurance and parent / bank guarantees lie?
• What is the connection between R&W insurance and Fund Liquidation Insurance?
• What are the timelines and costs associated with procuring Representations & Warranties insurance coverage?
