Our Mergers and Acquisitions Insurance Group is New Zealand's leading provider of transactional insurance and alternative risk solutions to insurance brokers and to companies and their legal, financial and other advisors.

Uncertainties surrounding potential environmental liability, including the extent of contamination, undocumented operations and sites and the effect on a company's financial condition, can potentially stall or halt merger and acquisition transactions.
Litigation buyout insurance enables companies to manage the negative financial impact of a wide range of events which may impede successful closure of merger and acquisition transactions, hinder value creation, or stand in the way of needed financing. They include litigation involving large uninsured and underinsured liabilities and complex operational issues.
Tax liability insurance effectively provides certainty to taxpayers in particular areas where there is uncertainty in the application of the tax laws. For example where the tax authorities will not issue advance rulings or where there is inadequate time for the taxpayer to obtain an advance ruling.
Warranty and indemnity insurance helps protect a seller or buyer from financial loss resulting from inaccuracies in the representations and warranties provided by the seller as part of an acquisition or sale of a company or a business.
