The past couple of years have seen an explosive growth of merger and acquisition activity in the insurance and reinsurance industry, but will the trend continue? This program will afford an up-to-the moment guide to an evolving and dynamic landscape for new and experienced attorneys, corporate strategists, investment bankers and finance professionals.
Our panel of attorneys and finance professionals will examine the ways M&A transactions differ for the re/insurance industry and provide a broad analysis of:
- The forces shaping the growth in deal volume
- The “nuts and bolts” of the structures used
- Due diligence practices
- Principal tax and regulatory considerations
- Capital availability and conditions in the US and other global markets
- Activity across business lines, such as property casualty, life, and intermediaries
