Top five recommendations
Test insurers on their claims record, not just premium rates.
Explore synthetic solutions where deal gaps exist.
Consider how tax and contingent insurance could facilitate a successful deal (or provide comfort outside of a transaction if an operational risk is discovered).
Engage your broker early to shape the diligence process, avoid pitfalls and advise you how insurance can be utilised to maximum effectiveness.
Allow your broker to advocate for you in a claims scenario.
