Transactional Risk
Protecting your interests, today and tomorrowJhasa’s experienced transactional risks team specialize in sourcing effective warranty and indemnity cover and risk solutions to protect your business throughout the transaction process.
Warranty and indemnity insurance acts to indemnify parties involved in a transaction against financial losses that could arise out of a breach of warranty or indemnity in the purchase agreement.
Sellers use it to limit their ongoing liabilities and prevent sale proceeds being held up in escrows, allowing them to exit deals cleanly. Buyers use it to make their bids more attractive to sellers and to protect the value of their investment once deals are done.
We work for buyers and sellers in corporate transactions, as well as for the firms that advise them.
Harnessing decades of experience and strong insurer relationships, we’ll make sure you get the cover you need to make your deal happen, and to protect your interests in the future.

Buyers use it to make their bids more attractive to sellers and to protect the value of their investment once deals are done.
We work for buyers and sellers in corporate transactions, as well as for the firms that advise them. Our job is to make sure the parties in a transaction get the insurance coverage they need, first to make their deal happen, then to protect their interests in the future.
We can put together back-to-back cover for warranty liabilities given in the purchase agreement transferring the risks to the insurer.
The insurer will either cover the buyer (a buyer-side policy) or agree to indemnify the seller (a seller-side policy).
Our team also structure insurance solutions to cover known risks identified in due diligence including tax, legal and contingencies.
