Louis Lehot and Eric Chow on Transactional Insurance – 'RWI insurance policies play increasingly critical role in M&A'

Foley & Lardner LLP partners Louis Lehot and Eric Chow explore the increasingly critical role of Representations & Warranties (RWI) insurance policies in mergers & acquisitions in their Westlaw Today article, “What’s market in transactional insurance?”

The authors offer context on what RWI insurance covers, its benefits, market trends for the industry, and the legal issues to consider when contracting for an RWI policy.

“While RWI policies offer tremendous benefit, they must be structured so that the coverage provides the appropriate protections and is in alignment with the risk profile of the transaction,” Lehot and Chow conclude.
