Mergers and acquisitions (M&As) comes with a hefty amount of risk. Consider what would happen if a buyer claimed you misrepresented earnings or you face back-taxes because of an audit. This policy serves as an excellent negotiating tool for sellers, often ensuring more lenient indemnification terms and removes the need for an escrow hold-back.

Mergers and acquisitions are on the rise; however, so is post-acquisition litigation. Sellers involved in these types of ventures face a barrage of law suits if the deal goes bad. This policy protects sellers against the risk of costly litigation and risk of forfeiting of escrow funds after a merger or acquisition.
