The presence of Representations and Warranties Insurance can profoundly affect an M&A deal, which can sometimes be problematic for both buyers and sellers alike. Building on our experience on over 6,700 private-target M&A deals, the team of experts at SRS Acquiom took a deep dive into our data to help arm M&A practitioners with the information needed to understand how RWI can impact deal terms and claims activity on their M&A transactions.

- M&A: Pre-Closing: Due Diligence, Negotiations, and Binding Coverage
- Seller Representations and Warranties
- “10b–5” and “Full Disclosure” Representations
- “No Other Representations” and “Non-Reliance” Clauses
- Indemnification Mechanics
- General Survival of Seller’s Representations and Warranties
