Akerman and Marsh co-hosted an interactive panel discussion on the state of the M&A market, best practices for acquirers, and some growing trends in transactional risk products for the coming year. As transactional risk insurers expand their market, and new insurance buyers seek expertise and options for their deals, it is imperative to understand the ways in which a deal can fall through—and how to keep things on track. Speakers included Akerman’s M&A and Private Equity Partner, Jason Northcutt, along with Marsh's Patrick J. Browne Jr. and Roy Locke, members of the Transactional Risk Practice Group.  

This complimentary program addressed M&A trends, as well as opportunities and challenges related to Transactional Risk – including Reps and Warranty Insurance and Tax Insurance.  

Topics discussed:

• State of the M&A Market
• Developments in Transactional Risk and Best Practices Heading into 2022
• Implementing R&W Insurance - Specifically for Middle Market Private Equity Funds, Growth Equity Funds, and Strategic Investors
• Tax Insurance - Its Place in M&A Tansactions
