Do you know what Representatives & Warranties Coverage is? Representative and Warranties Insurance coverage provides protection to parties involved in mergers and acquisitions by covering losses resulting from breaches of representations and warranties made during the transaction.

In our article, we explore the structure of a transaction, insurance, indemnification, negotiation of remedies, escrow, and holdback, and the importance of continued due diligence even after a transaction is completed.
