Episode 6: Contingent Risk Insurance: Concept, Growth, and Opportunities

The ability to cabin off problematic litigation through the strategic use of insurance is an underappreciated segment of the transactional risk insurance markets. In the same vein, as the product matures, contingent risk insurance may play an important role in allocating risk outside of transactions as well. In this episode, Bryan and Gena are joined by David Haigh, Managing Director, Atlantic Global Risk, and Sara Cannon, Senior Vice-President and Head of Structured Solutions, Atlantic Global Risk, to discuss:

• An overview of the contingent risk insurance product
• Potential use of contingent risk insurance both as part of a deal and outside of a transaction
• Specific industries that have started successfully utilizing the product
• The latest policy limits, premiums, retentions, and claims experience
• Predictions on how contingent risk can be used in the future
