| Equity Risk Partners
Global brokers take a unique perspective when serving portfolio
companies. Because of our private equity focus, we factor divestiture
scenarios into our insurance program design and recommendations for insurance programs for
portfolio companies. We pay special attention to potential long-term
financial and legal liabilities and their potential effects upon an
eventual divestiture strategy. Coordination Private equity-backed companies have aggressive growth plans that often include entering new markets or countries. Equity Risk Partners Global brokers have worked together for decades, and are experienced in coordinating coverages when policies are placed outside of your home country. We communicate effectively in order to eliminate all coverage redundancy and duplication. Placement Equity Risk Partners Global brokers have access to the largest insurance companies in the world. As your company grows, we have the market access that enables us to tailor an insurance program to your constantly changing needs. Service All Equity Risk Partners Global brokers are operating in their respective markets every day. They are placing insurance for and servicing clients continuously. They are not just the M&A practice of their firms - they are the principals. They do not hand your business off to “another department.” Each firm is seasoned and has a broad expertise in the commercial insurance marketplace. Our brokers get to know the local representatives from the insurance companies. They do not just rely on the home office to drive the process and relationship. Strategic Acquisitions When your company identifies a target company for strategic acquisition, the due diligence expertise of Equity Risk Partners Global is engaged in order to provide the same depth of analysis applied to our private equity diligence assignments. If your company is a client of an Equity Risk Partners Global broker, there is no fee for performing diligence on an acquisition target. |
