Coverage for Transactions

A leading national brokerage for innovative insurance products that augment and support mergers and acquisitions, Mazonson understands the dynamics of mergers and acquisitions - and of how to properly craft representation and warranties insurance coverage to support or even save a transaction.

• Mazonson works with major carriers to craft a product to protect the buyer, seller or both
• We work with you, the client, to understand the structure of your transaction. Doing so allows us to properly place coverage that removes barriers and makes financial sense
• For transactions that hinge on an environmental liability, we work with carriers to mitigate with coverage the issue in order to move the transaction to closing

 

Mazonson Executive Risk works with clients to reduce or eliminate tax exposures.

• We work with major carriers to craft programs that insure against future IRS or state challenges to a company's tax treatment of a transaction or investment
• When properly structured, coverage can provide transactional parties with certainty that will allow a transaction to move forward

 

Public Companies

The executive protection environment for publicly traded companies is experiencing unprecedented change and disarray. Never has it been more important to work with a broker who understands the market, and who can use that knowledge for the benefit of their publicly traded clients. Mazonson begins by gaining a thorough understanding of our client's business as well as their needs. Then, employing our many years of experience and long-standing carrier relationships, we secure for the client the best available terms, conditions and pricing.

Private and Emerging Companies

The Executive Risk Practice understands that managing a private or emerging company has its risks. From employees’, customers’ and competitors’ threats of litigation to workplace violence and Internet privacy, even talented and experienced management face risk challenges that affect their ability to make decisions and grow their firm.

We work with many companies that face these growing pains. We minimize these risks simply and efficiently utilizing the proper level of risk transfer. Avoiding off-the-shelf solutions, we tailor an appropriate plan to each customer's needs. Not every structure is right for every customer. Teaming up with our Technology, General Business and Life & Benefits units, we present a seamless product that reduces or eliminates your risk. When faced with unique risk exposures, we work with you and our markets to structure unique solutions.

Claims Advocacy

Expertise means nothing without a sense of urgency and responsive service. Mazonson LLC has years of experience in the handling and direction of large, difficult and sophisticated executive protection litigation. D&O and/or employment related claims are major distractions and sources of anxiety for management. We take on an advocacy role with our clients throughout the claims process. This allows them to focus on achieving their business results, not the loss.

Mazonson LLC is involved alongside our clients throughout the claims process to ensure that promises are kept and the outcomes are appropriate.
