Representations & warranties

Representations and warranties insurance (RWI) plays a crucial role in corporate mergers and acquisitions (M&A). This specialized coverage protects both buyers and sellers by guaranteeing the contractual representations made during negotiations.

Why choose IOA for representations & warranties insurance?

Traditionally, buyers have relied on escrow funds to address claims arising from breaches of representations and warranties. RWI offers a modern alternative, reducing financial risk and enhancing confidence for all parties involved. Whether mitigating unknown risks for buyers or freeing up sale proceeds for sellers, RWI is an essential tool for streamlining and safeguarding M&A transactions.
