James Wilson comments on the growth of the M&A insurance industry in Law360

Head of M&A and Transactional Risks, James Wilson, comments on the growing demand for insurance products to help mitigate the cross-border and domestic risks involved in mergers and acquisitions.

James’ comments were published in Law360, 24 March 2025, and can be found here.

“The demand for Transactional Risk insurance policies continues to grow, despite slower than anticipated M&A activity over the past 12 months, due to the continued development of the solutions available and the wider education of these to clients across the globe.

“With the expansion of the insurance market catering to more types of transactions and the variety of risks pertinent to them, as well as the rise jurisdictionally of the purchasers of these policies, we expect to see a continued increase in Transactional Risk insurance as dealmakers and the advisors look to mitigate economic uncertainty and get transactions over the line.

“With the ever-increasing global geopolitical uncertainty, insurance will continue to play a vital role in mitigating cross-border and domestic risks in the constantly changing economic, legal and regulatory landscape.”
