Our impact

Global insurance integration

Our client, a large project management and consultancy firm, underwent a significant merger. Following the transaction, turnover increased to $6 billion and operations expanded to cover 52 territories.

The new entity presented a complex, multi-jurisdictional risk profile that had to be fully understood and presented to insurers within an exceptionally tight timeframe.

Our impact

Repairing market reputation

A well-established manufacturing business operating in a high-risk sector was preparing for a private equity-backed management buy-out. Having an established relationship with the PE firm, Bartlett was asked to confidentially assist with due diligence.

Our impact

Repositioning risk

Following rapid growth across several business units, the insurance arrangements for this family-owned group had not kept pace. Over time, cover had become fragmented, overly complex and dependent on a narrow panel of insurers. Bartlett was asked to review the programme in full including pricing, adequacy of cover and risk presentation.

Should All Corporate Lawyers Be Advising Clients About W&I Insurance? The role of the corporate lawyer in an M&A transaction is evolving and expectations around W&I insurance are evolving with it. What was once a specialist structuring tool used for high value transactions is now a mainstream feature of many deals across all sectors and jurisdictions and is now used in over 50% of UK/EU transactions. That shift raises an uncomfortable but increasingly relevant question: could a failure to advise on Warranty & Indemnity (W&I) insurance expose solicitors to criticism, or even negligence, if a client later suffers an avoidable loss?
