Newfront Representations and Warranties Insurance

Newfront Representations & Warranties Insurance

Newfront places representations and warranties (R&W) insurance through its Private Equity & Transaction Advisory Group, which it describes as operating as "an extension of your deal-team" during M&A transactions. Newfront brokers R&W coverage; it does not underwrite it. ¹Company-reported. Mergers & Acquisitions page's Transaction liability paragraph.

Issuing Insurer

Not publicly disclosed. Newfront says it has relationships with transaction liability insurers but does not name an R&W carrier. As a broker, the insurer varies by deal. ¹Mergers & Acquisitions page's Subject matter expertise section.

Who It’s For

Newfront markets R&W insurance to clients executing mergers and acquisitions, working alongside private-equity deal teams; the reviewed page does not set a minimum deal size or industry restriction. ¹Company-reported. Mergers & Acquisitions page; a practice-wide description, not a stated R&W-specific eligibility threshold.

Coverage Features

Newfront describes R&W insurance as protecting clients "across unknown risks" arising from a transaction, distinguishing it from the tax insurance and contingent-liability insurance the same team also places for "hard-to-place transaction risks." The reviewed page does not describe R&W policy exclusions, retention structure or claims-made terms. ¹Company-reported. Mergers & Acquisitions page's Transaction liability paragraph; general description, not a policy form summary.

Limits and Retentions

Not publicly disclosed. Published limits, retentions or premium rates for R&W coverage were not found on the reviewed page. ¹Mergers & Acquisitions page as read on 2026-09-23; limits and pricing are deal-specific for broker placements.

Risk Services

Newfront says its due-diligence professionals "operate on deal-time identifying key risk exposures, mitigation solutions, and cost-savings opportunities," and that its technology and data-analytics capabilities support the M&A insurance team's work, including transaction-liability placement. ¹Company-reported. Mergers & Acquisitions page's Due diligence and Technology & data-driven results sections; describes the M&A practice generally, not R&W-exclusive services.

How to Apply

You engage Newfront's Private Equity & Transaction Advisory Group for R&W placement by requesting a consultation, which asks for your industry, company details and the service you need rather than issuing an instant quote. ²Company-reported. General consultation intake, not an R&W-specific application path.
