VFTM Ep. 134 - The Growing Midmarket Presence of Representation and Warranty Insurance

Representation and warranty insurance (“RWI”), a growing presence in Canadian M&A transactions, is the subject of my conversation with Rishi Dhir of Willis Towers Watson’s Transactional Insurance Solutions group. Rishi discusses the increased adoption of RWI in the Canadian midmarket, noting that it is now commonly used in transactions with enterprise values as low as $5 million. He explains that the premiums and deductibles for these policies have decreased, while also highlighting the broad coverage provided in deals of all sizes. Recent developments highlight RWI providers’ increased scrutiny of supply-chain flexibility and reliance on international customers in response to the tariff landscape.
