The global Hinshaw Insurance Services group is pleased to offer a comprehensive analysis of significant insurance trends, regulations, and landmark case rulings in the United States in 2024 while also making prognostications about the industry landscape in 2025.

Traditionally, buyers and sellers of companies perform due diligence and risk assessments in connection with corporate transactions. To protect against a seller's breach of representations and warranties concerning the target company, acquiring companies often insist on the inclusion of broad indemnification, holdback, and earn-out provisions in the transaction documents, as well as the establishment of seller-funded escrow accounts.
