Reducing Risk in M&A: An Insurance Perspective (Upcoming Live Webinar)

February 3, 2026

Live Webinar | February 18 | 11 a.m. EST

What can derail an M&A deal before closing? For many sellers, the biggest risk isn’t valuation or buyer interest—it’s the risks and exposures uncovered too late in the process.

Selling a business involves more than finding the right buyer or achieving a strong valuation. Insurance and risk decisions made early in the M&A process can influence deal structure, negotiations, diligence timelines, and outcomes long after closing. When these issues arise late, sellers may face delays or unexpected post-close liability.
