XTo take advantage of global merger and acquisition opportunities, business leaders must be mindful of potential risks that could alter the terms of — or even derail — a deal.
The value of global mergers and acquisitions (M&A) in 2019 was roughly US$3.3 trillion across 19,322 deals, down 6.9% from 2018.
Tax insurance can be used as a strategic risk management tool to protect against exposures arising from the operational tax affairs of corporate groups and internal restructurings, in addition to covering tax risks identified in the context of M&A transactions.
As businesses look for opportunities to deploy their capital, mergers and acquisitions (M&As) are a key strategy for many. Understanding and managing the risks involved can be challenging, especially for those investing in unfamiliar markets or industries.
Marsh’s Private Equity and M&A Services Practice develops solutions that help corporations, private equity firms, alternative asset managers, lenders, and infrastructure investors manage M&A risks. Our dedicated global team of advisers and lawyers works across Marsh and other Marsh & McLennan Companies businesses to provide you with specialised advice, with industry-specific depth.
With more than two decades of M&A experience, we provide you with the insights to evaluate, facilitate, and close your transaction while managing buy- and sell-side risks. And, after the deal closes, our group purchasing programs utilise our strong market relationships to potentially maximise buying power and lower insurance costs over the life of the investment and beyond.
By identifying and evaluating the potential risk challenges in your M&A transaction, Marsh helps with the speed of execution and accuracy in price — so you can submit bids with confidence.
Whether you’re buying or selling, our M&A experts work with in-house risk management and insurance teams to provide risk and insurance advice that supplements and/or complements in-house capabilities and those of the deal advisory team.
Our team offers a wide range of services to the providers of senior debt to structured financed projects worldwide, such as providing independent insurance advice, commentary on the allocation of risk under principal contracts, and more.
We support bidders to public private partnership (PPP) projects in their negotiations with the public sector, subcontractors, and lenders, with regard to risk allocation and insurance obligations.
At Marsh, our focus is on helping private equity organisations throughout the duration of the life cycle of an investment, creating value before, during, and on exit from the deal. In addition to traditional risk and insurance due diligence services, our private equity experts provide tailor-made insurance solutions that can help address transaction issues, enhance your negotiating position, and improve deal certainty.
Whatever the type and size of your organisation, our transactional risks team works closely with in-house risk and insurance teams to assist you in understanding, quantifying, and mitigating risk in M&A activity.
Tax insurance covers specific tax risks and provides financial protection should an associated liability arise. A tax insurance policy is a bespoke solution that provides peace of mind for the insured and the parties involved, and can be used in the context of a transaction (such as an acquisition, divestment or restructure) or with respect to a particular historical tax treatment.
