One is that the insurance carrier isn’t fit to grow with you. So you get into a position where the insurance carrier just cannot provide coverage, maybe in a state or a jurisdiction that you’re making an acquisition, and you outgrow them.” “I’ve seen deals not close on time. So yes, that’s an issue,” says Gross. “They [PE firms] get a deal done and suddenly their carrier partner can’t work with them on it. Then it’s a huge challenge for them to find somebody to work with them.” Gross has also seen instances of companies being unaware that their firm’s policy doesn’t necessarily offer coverage for operational risks, such as worker’s compensation, for their add-on acquisitions. “We’ve had clients that don’t tell us about acquisitions, and then an employee reports a claim and we say it’s not covered,” she explains. “A lot of times, we can work with our clients and go back and figure out that there is coverage, but it’s really frustrating for that employee. Then they’re going out and getting an attorney. One, that becomes more expensive and two, it just creates a problem for the culture of that company.” Coverage for M&A deals has become more popular in recent years. 9,178 M&A transactions were covered by insurance last year, according to a report by insurance broker BMS Group. That’s 45 percent higher than in 2020. Four out of every five private equity transactions now feature some form of insurance, according to the BMS’ Private Equity, M&A and Tax 2023 Report. Gross explains that Liberty Mutual’s policy is to have frequent follow-ups with their clients about the industries, jurisdictions, and size of acquisitions they’re likely to pursue every year to set the groundwork for such deals in advance. “Having a very upfront conversation will absolutely speed up the process because nobody’s surprised when there are acquisitions happening,” she says. –Vishesh Raisinghani
