Avoiding Liability Pitfalls With M & A Due Diligence

After the deal closes, hidden liabilities can be revealed. Avoid being blindsided in mergers and acquisitions (M&A) with due diligence on long-tail liabilities and the historic insurance portfolio that might cover them. Learn how to communicate with chief financial officers or chief executive officers about M&A due diligence tasks. Evaluate potential insurance shortfalls that could affect target company valuation. Consider the role of a new layer of protection with representations and warranties insurance. Walk through the due diligence process to see where things can go wrong and how to steer them right.
