Aon and Mergermarket found the overarching trend of M&A insurance becoming more mainstream, which means that whether deal activity continues its recovery trajectory or is interrupted by further economic disruptions, these policies are becoming an increasingly common feature of deals.<\/p>\n

“The resiliency we have seen in the M&A industry has been remarkable,” said Gary Blitz<\/span>, Co-CEO of Aon’s M&A and Transaction Solutions practice. “Our latest M&A Risk in Review<\/i> report provides insight into the strategies that dealmakers have adopted to navigate these volatile times and their views on the future of M&A.”<\/p>\n

In the latest survey, the results support this expected trend: 88% believe their use of representations & warranties (R&W, also known as warranty & indemnity, or W&I) insurance will increase over the coming 12 months, including 40% who expect it to increase significantly. <\/p>\n
