Our client provides specialist insurance solutions for M&A risks. This dedicated team of professionals have backgrounds in the legal sector, investment banking, general industry and insurance.
With headquarters in London they are looking at expansion into different European countries. Focus is on the private equity and real estate sectors, working with leading fund managers.
Tax insurance is part of a wider set of specialist M&A insurance products. These policies are used to support M&A transactions or liquidation of private equity / real estate fund structures. Insurance is commonly used on private equity deals to replace a seller indemnity in response to an identified tax issue.
The market for tax insurance is growing rapidly - many specialist insurers have hired tax underwriters to provide specialist knowledge.

* Work with the 'business development' specialists
* Market to identified individuals (pre-dominantly in face-to-face meetings)
