M&A:

Protecting the investment of equity and intellectual capital in a venture or merger is a complex issue. Integro's Private Equity Practice has enlisted a team of seasoned international brokers and analysts well-versed in the particular concerns of start-ups, firms changing ownership, privately held firms with public debt, and mergers and acquisitions. We offer the full scope of support during negotiation, closure and post-closure operations in complex deals, including:

• Analysis of new risk profiles
• Initial all-lines insurance and risk management due diligence studies
• Coverage specifications for newly formed or changed entities
• Insurance marketing strategies for new placements
• Valuations of assets and liabilities related to risk and insurance
• Environmental risk analysis and insurance placements
• Summaries of current and anticipated insurance market conditions
• Design of customized risk retention/risk transfer programs
• Creation of risk transfer solutions for deal-threatening issues
• Advocacy of client interests in claims
• Collaboration in risk management aspects of exit strategies

Our Private Equity team will identify and assess the risk management issues of the business at hand, be it well established or on the drawing board, and pass along the benefits of this understanding to clients.

We have a thorough knowledge of regulatory obligations and governance standards with regard to newly formed companies and those moving into initial public offering. In addition, Integro offers specialized insurance products to deal with representations and warranties, tax opinions, and run-off liabilities in order to transfer risks that might otherwise threaten the structure of a deal.

Integro's experts will design comprehensive, cost-efficient insurance programs, favorably positioning new risks to underwriters, and orchestrating the market to create competition among insurers for risks requiring a specialized insurance brokerage skill set.
