After working with their M&A Team on a substantial number of cross-border deals US-based Equity Risk Partners Global have asked Vista Insurance Brokers Ltd to lead their network for Europe, the Middle East and North Africa.
With more and more mid-market businesses establishing a local presence in jurisdictions outside their traditional home locations and with the volume of cross-border deals rising, Gavin Ruben, Managing Director at Vista explains that: “There has been an increasing demand for insurance due diligence and portfolio servicing support to mirror this growing international presence.
“For Vista and our Private Equity clients the strengthening of our relationship will allow us to ensure long term quality and consistency. We will now directly oversee the support provided in our region for both Due Diligence and for ongoing services to Portfolio companies. We will also enjoy closer ties with Equity Risk Partners in the US and their outstanding team of deal professionals."
Vista will now co-brand with Equity Risk Partners Global on all Due Diligence Reports including UK only deals which continue to be Vista’s core area of activity in both London and Manchester.
