In a post on LinkedIn, Factor Risk Management (FRM) announced the launch of its new M&A and Transactional Risks department. Building upon its existing litigation finance and ATE insurance solutions, FRM is launching this new offering to service clients ‘who wish to mitigate the threat of litigation or guard against any ongoing disputes when involved in M&A deals.’ The M&A and Transactional Risks solutions will be available to clients across all industry sectors, including insurance policies covering warrant & indemnity, tax and contingent liability.
As part of this service launch, FRM has announced the appointment of James Wilson as Head of M&A and Transactional Risks, and Camila Lonzetti Vieira de Carvalho as Associate Director of M&A and Transactional Risks. Wilson commented on the launch of the new offering, saying: “Our agile structure, subject-matter expertise and market experience will allow clients a new option when looking for a partner to provide insurance solutions in the often fast-paced and complex M&A deal-making community.”
Tom Davey, Director and Co-founder of FRM, said that the appointment of James and Camila will “strengthen FRM’s powerful mix of insurance and finance professionals servicing the needs of the disputes, mergers and acquisitions market.”
James Wilson and Camila Lonzetti Vieira de Carvalho both join FRM from United Insurance Brokers Limited, having respectively served as Head of Corporate & Capital Risks and Associate Director at the broker.
