Insurance covering the representations and warranties of a seller in a purchase agreement (RWI) has become relatively commonplace in non-distressed M&A transactions. Insurance covering other specific contingent risks associated with a transaction, such as environment liability or tax liability or benefits, is also available. Less commonly, but with increasing frequency, these transaction insurance policies are being marketed and sold in transactions arising in bankruptcy and insolvency transactions.
