Beazley Representations and Warranties Insurance
Beazley Mergers & Acquisitions Insurance
Beazley underwrites representations and warranties (M&A) insurance directly, describing solutions designed to reduce or extinguish the impact of liabilities arising from a merger or acquisition, including warranty breaches, adverse tax consequences and contingent liability claims. 1Company-reported. US Mergers & Acquisitions product page; scope covers the general insuring concept, not a specific policy form.
Who It’s For
Beazley says it offers this coverage to private equity clients, selling entrepreneurs, private shareholders, venture capital funds, listed companies and other corporate clients, with a broad appetite across different target sectors, deal types and transaction structures. 1Company-reported. Product-page target-customer list; individual deal acceptance still depends on underwriting.
Beazley says it can underwrite and place M&A insurance, including cross-border deals, in all 50 US states and more than 80 jurisdictions globally. 1Company-reported. Company-stated geographic reach; not an independently verified regulator record of authorization in every jurisdiction listed.
Coverage Features
Beazley describes coverage that can be provided to a seller to defend against a breach of representations or warranties claimed by a purchaser, or to a purchaser for first-party protection against innocent or fraudulent breaches by a seller. 1Company-reported. Product-page description of the insuring structure; actual policy wording, retentions and exclusions are set at binding.
Beyond representation and warranty breaches, Beazley says its M&A offering can also address adverse tax consequences and contingent liability claims arising from a transaction. 1Company-reported. Product-page "What we offer" summary; each element's availability depends on the specific transaction and underwriting.
Limits and Retentions
Beazley advertises M&A insurance limits of up to US $50,000,000. The page does not publish retentions, minimum limits or premium ranges. 1Company-reported. Product-page headline limit figure; actual capacity offered depends on the transaction.
Risk Services
Beazley says it can underwrite transactions globally and structure coverage around the specific details and timeframes of a transaction. 1Company-reported. Company-stated service description; no turnaround-time commitment or staffing detail is published.
How to Apply
Not found in reviewed sources. The reviewed page does not list a self-service quote form or application document for M&A insurance; it instead names underwriters and product leaders by region and links to "Speak with an Underwriter" and "Become a Beazley Broker" contact routes. 1Checked the full product page, including its Tools & Resources equivalent area, on 2026-09-23; no application form was found there, unlike the Crime and Fidelity page.
Claims Support
Beazley's own example describes a case where its insured was sued by a third party over intellectual property and lost, the third party then counterclaimed against the acquired target, and Beazley paid the claim and it was settled with the third party, despite some question over whether the claim was fully covered. 1Company-reported. A single company-selected scenario on the product page; it is not a claims-handling statistic or a guarantee of similar outcomes.
