The prospect of exiting, whether through acquisition, merger, or the prospect of going public, marks a significant milestone in your business. Within this part of your journey lies the intricate web of negotiations and complexities inherent in the exit process. With every detail meticulously scrutinised and every term diligently negotiated, the path to a successful exit demands focus and expert guidance. 

We’ll stand as your trusted partner, equipped to navigate these changes from safeguarding against potential liabilities through robust warranties and indemnities to ensuring a seamless transition to your next venture.

✓ Time to exit

An exit strategy could present itself in a range of ways, from acquisition to merger or even taking the company public. Every exit can be a long and complex process to negotiate and complete, before it’s onwards and upwards to the next venture.

We can offer:

• Warranties & indemnities – there to protect you from the financial loss associated with claims while providing both parties with additional peace of mind
• Run-off protection – despite the fact that you’ve sold the business, litigation can be brought against the former management team for actions made prior to the sale. We can help ensure your period of run-off is insured so your exiting team has peace of mind as they step away
• Public offering security insurance (POSI) – If you’re about to go public and launch your IPO, having insurance to protect against these new exposures during the transaction is critical
