Factor Risk Management hires leading specialists to power its M&A and Transactional Risks division

Factor Risk Management is delighted to announce the launch of its M&A and Transactional Risks division and the appointments of James Wilson and Camila Carvalho.

The pair will drive the newly launched practice, complementing its growing team by bringing a wealth of industry experience and expertise from the M&A sector.

James Wilson joins as FRM’s Head of M&A and Transactional Risks. He is recognised as one of the most experienced practitioners in the M&A insurance industry having been instrumental in the early development of the key products now relied upon to manage risk in many M&A transactions.

James’ twenty-year career has seen him in senior roles as Head of Transactional Insurance for a Lloyd’s of London Syndicate, and Head of M&A Insurance for a Lloyd’s of London broker, structuring comprehensive and tailored solutions for a raft of complex transactions.

Camila Carvalho joins FRM as an Associate Director of its M&A and Transactional Risks division. She brings with her 14 years of international experience in complex international transactions across multiple jurisdictions. Camila was a corporate lawyer before moving to PwC’s Deals Tax team in Sao Paulo and then London, specialising in cross-border M&A deals and group reorganisations.

James and Camila will boost FRM’s offering with clients who wish to mitigate the threat of litigation or guard against any ongoing disputes when involved in M&A deals. The firm will now be able to assist them in all industry sectors across multiple jurisdictions, providing transactional risk solutions, such as Warranty & Indemnity (W&I), Tax and Contingent liability insurance policies.

FRM is a specialist independent brokerage that advises and arranges a wide range of disputes’ related insurance coverage and finance to help clients access justice through legal action. Established in 2020 it is an independent offering a full suite of funding and insurance options to help clients manage the unpredictability and costs of litigation. FRM’s founders have an industry track record of placing over £2bn of insurance coverage and funding.

Tom Davey, Director and co-founder of Factor Risk Management, commented:

“We are really delighted to welcome two professionals of the calibre of James and Camila to Factor Risk Management. They strengthen FRM’s powerful mix of insurance and finance professionals servicing the needs of the disputes, mergers and acquisitions market. They are a great fit as we expand our business.”

James Wilson, new Head of M&A and Transactional Risks at Factor Risk Management, commented:

“We are incredibly proud to launch Factor Risk Management’s M&A and Transactional Risks offering. Our agile structure, subject-matter expertise and market experience will allow clients a new option when looking for a partner to provide insurance solutions in the often fast-paced and complex M&A deal-making community.”

FRM is set to continue its strong and rapid growth, and looks forward to working closely with the M&A sector alongside its existing client base.
