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.
Tax Opinion Liability insurance helps a taxpayer reduce or eliminate a contingent tax exposure arising from the tax treatment of a transaction, investment or other activity where the underlying legal conclusions supporting that tax treatment may be subject to future challenge by the relevant tax authorities.
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. These include litigation involving large uninsured and underinsured liabilities and complex operational issues.
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. Chartis offers environmental insurance options to address the unique and individual risks of insureds, including those risks associated with contaminated property, industrial operations, and recycling, disposing or treating hazardous waste.
