Risk in Context Podcast: M&A risk and insurance pitfalls

Interest in global mergers and acquisitions — that hit an all-time high in 2021 — is continuing this year. But companies that seek to buy or sell their businesses need to be aware of the new risks they may face and employ comprehensive due diligence through the entire M&A process.

In this episode of Risk in Context, James White, head of transaction advisory for Marsh UK and Ireland, talks with Suzanne Jones, who leads Marsh UK’s corporate M&A team, and Scott Brady, leader of the US’s east M&A team. They discuss the significant risks and potential insurance challenges that companies should keep in mind and also prepare for ahead of a merger or acquisition.
