Mergers and acquisitions are a key part of many companies’ business plans – but they can also have a significant negative financial impact if not evaluated properly. There are many facets in managing and evaluating a proposed merger or acquisition, but an area that is often overlooked is a review of the insurance ramifications of any transaction.
Whether you are in the position of buyer or seller, our team of experts can help you negotiate the insurance-related pitfalls of these complex deals, account for the potential liabilities associated with the transaction, and ensure you are properly protected and have accrued the appropriate costs after closing.
No transaction is too small to be devoid of insurance concerns. In fact, often times the smaller, less sophisticated transactions require a high level of expertise to assess and evaluate available due diligence data. Whether considering a small asset purchase, merger via change in control, or a large stock acquisition, we have the resources needed to assist with this process. As a result, you can keep your eye on the big picture and make moves with confidence.
