RWI is reshaping how M&A transactions are structured globally and deals involving Israeli buyers or targets introduce a distinct set of legal frameworks, market expectations and insurer dynamics that U.S. and European advisors must understand. Our expert-led webcast, “Representations and warranties insurance in Israel: Key insights for U.S. and European M&A advisors,” brings together WTW’s on-the-ground Israel team with our U.S. and European transactional insurance specialists to break down what makes Israeli deals different, how insurers approach them and what advisors can do to secure robust coverage for their clients.
Whether you’re advising on cross-border acquisitions or structuring a minority investment, this webinar delivers practical guidance on navigating the nuances of Israeli M&A insurance in 2026 and beyond.
Key takeaways
- Israeli market evolution: Understand how RWI has grown from the first policy in 2020 to an estimated 35 – 40% market penetration today, driven by increased insurer appetite, proven track record and a record Israeli M&A market.
- Underwriting focus areas: Learn where Israeli deals diverge materially from U.S. practice — including Section 102 equity plans, IP chain of title, Innovation Authority grants, geopolitical considerations and mandatory labor law obligations — and how to prepare diligence accordingly.
- Policy terms and exclusive enhancements: Explore the standard policy features for Israeli transactions and the coverage improvements Willis WTW has secured for clients.
- Stapled RWI and deal structuring: Discover how seller-initiated and stapled RWI processes accelerate clean exits, reduce or eliminate escrow requirements and provide deal certainty in competitive auction environments — and how SPA indemnity structures in Israel differ from the nil-cap standard common in the U.S.
- Tax and contingent risk insurance: Gain perspective on Israel’s emerging tax risk insurance market, the structured engagement approach required for successful placements and the practical steps advisors can take to bridge valuation gaps and facilitate cleaner exits using contingent risk coverage.
