─ Servicing deals in Western Europe, CEE and Asia
W&I insurance policies offer specific coverage for breaches of certain warranties and indemnities contained in a sale and purchase agreement. A W&I policy provides protection to buyers, sellers, and intermediaries engaged in a merger, acquisition, or divestment process for losses suffered as a result of an unexpected breach of warranty or indemnity claim.
Transact was the first transaction-focused MGA based in Western Europe and has since expanded to CEE and Asia. Our dedicated offering and our team’s experience in this market allow us to provide the most complete and comprehensive services for clients in the region.
Our goal is to help you get the deal done, fast. That’s why we’ve trained to be fast, thorough and deliver solutions with no execution risk.
