The M&A Specialty of the MAG Group provides support to Corporates and Private Equity funds across various sectors, including real estate, manufacturing, and operations, to ensure appropriate coverage in the context of extraordinary finance transactions.

The Specialty aims to tailor insurance activities, to meet the specific requests of clients: from consulting to insurance due diligence, to negotiation and placement of Transactional Risk Insurance solutions in the international insurance market, which are useful for covering both unknown and known risks underlying the set of representations and warranties provided by the seller in the purchase agreement.

The main insurance solutions are as follows:

• Warranty and Indemnity (W&I) Insurance – structured to cover unknown risks underlying the set of representations and warranties provided by the seller.
• Title Insurance – can be used both to guarantee unknown issues related to eviction risks and in cases where potential risks arise during legal analysis, prior to the signing of the relevant policy.
• Tax Insurance – protects the insured from losses or damages arising from fiscal issues identified during due diligence; these issues may be addressed in the context of M&A but also in situations unrelated to extraordinary finance transactions.
• Litigation Buy-out Insurance – structured to protect against negative financial impacts caused by various events, such as ongoing legal disputes or contractual disagreements.
• Environmental M&A Insurance – used to cover specific environmental issues that were not identified during due diligence but were discovered after the successful conclusion of the transaction.
• Fund Wrapper Insurance – utilized by asset management companies (SGRs) to transfer potential long-tail liabilities associated with fund management to the insurer, providing a clean exit at the time of fund liquidation.

The resources within the Specialty have extensive experience in the M&A insurance market, allowing them to deliver highly specialized services at all stages of extraordinary finance transactions, from the initial request phase and definition of non-binding quotations to underwriting, negotiation, finalization, and placement of the policy text.
