Representation & Warranties Liability Coverage in Mergers & Acquisitions

The Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A) Group at Mazonson is a recognized industry leader in the design of insurance solutions to bridge hurdles and facilitate the closing of mergers and acquisitions. Since executing Chubb's first-ever Representations & Warranty policy in 1998, Mazonson has continued to expand its leadership role in the evolving field of M&A insurance solutions, having effected policies for transactions ranging from $2,000,000 to $625,000,000.

Because each policy is individually created to mirror the terms of a specific transaction, Mazonson LLC's M&A team brings to bear its considerable expertise and experience in order to achieve the most favorable terms and conditions and to procure competitive pricing.

Additionally, Mazonson has utilized this insurance as a successful client strategy to decrease escrow requirements for sellers, create incentive for an otherwise unmotivated seller, implement a policy as part of a bidding strategy for a buyer, and to garner a higher purchase price for a seller.

Whether a buyer or a seller, Mazonson can assist you in realizing your vision, and in creating a solution that is tailored to your specific needs. Policy coverages currently available include:

• Buyer- or seller-based Representations & Warranties Liability
• Tax opinion
• Environmental
• Aborted bid cost
