Contingent risk insurance may be considered where a defined legal or factual uncertainty could affect a transaction, balance sheet or distribution. Insure24 can arrange contingent-risk solutions through its wholesale broker route with Citynet, subject to case-by-case underwriting, due diligence, insurer appetite and final policy terms.
The exposure must be identified and capable of analysis. This product is distinct from W&I insurance for unknown warranty breaches.
Important: availability, cover, price and timing depend on the transaction, due diligence, insurer appetite and final policy terms. Nothing on this page is legal, tax or personalised regulated advice.
A useful submission explains the event, legal basis and range of possible outcomes.
The need may arise during an acquisition or as part of a wider corporate decision.
Insurance does not determine the legal merits of the underlying issue.
No. Contingent risk insurance concerns an identified uncertainty, while W&I insurance generally addresses unknown warranty breaches, always subject to wording.
Not automatically, but the precise facts, legal analysis, stage and potential outcomes will be central to whether any market is prepared to consider it.
No. Each risk is assessed individually and may fall outside insurer appetite.
