Representations & Warranties insurance

Specialist RWI coverage for North American transactions

DUAL provides tailored Representations & Warranties (RWI) insurance to help buyers and sellers manage unknown risks and move deals forward. Our policies protect your clients against financial loss arising from unknown breaches of the seller’s representations and warranties in a purchase agreement, supporting a cleaner allocation of liability between the parties.

Brown Brothers Harriman data shows U.S. private equity activity reached an estimated 9,019 deals with an aggregate value of almost $1.2 trillion in 2025. For brokers supporting buyers and sellers in this active market, RWI can help reduce retained risk, strengthen bids and keep transactions moving toward closing.

Our North American team brings deep experience across domestic and cross-border transactions, backed by a global Transactional Risk practice. This gives you local market knowledge, responsive underwriting and international support when a deal spans jurisdictions.
 

What does RWI insurance cover?

Our policies generally mirror the representations and warranties in the purchase agreement, providing broad protection against unknown risks. Coverage can stand alone or be coordinated with DUAL Tax Liability insurance where a transaction also involves a known tax exposure.
