SYDNEY (19 March 2026) – Liberty Global Transaction Solutions (GTS), part of Liberty Mutual Insurance Group, today announces the launch of Liberty Acquisition Protect™, a first-of-its-kind packaged solution offering enhanced deal security to mergers & acquisitions (M&A) buyers, including private equity firms, across the Asia-Pacific region.
Launching in Singapore and Sydney, Liberty Acquisition Protect™ offers an enhanced Warranty & Indemnity (W&I) solution, extending the traditional risk protection of transactional liability tied to acquisitions. Traditional W&I products focus on protecting against losses if a seller’s warranties (statements of facts about the business) turn out to be untrue. Liberty Acquisition Protect™ now also provides protection for go-forward exposures that may arise after the acquisition completes.
Developed to provide protection for the inherent complexity that comes with M&A activity, the product packages a suite of go-forward operational insurance coverages together with the historical cover offered by W&I and Tax Liability insurance. These add-on options are renewable and currently include Cyber, Environmental, Directors & Officers (D&O), and Crisis Management coverage.
William Lewis, head of APAC for Liberty Global Transaction Solutions said, “Post-acquisition integration periods create heightened governance and decision-making risks. For example directors and officers can benefit from D&O cover to protect from claims arising from management decisions and actions in the post-acquisition period. We also know that integration periods create heightened cyber vulnerability through system changes, data and network integration.”
With cover for both historical and future M&A-related risks, Liberty Acquisition Protect™ provides M&A buyers with added peace of mind and support for their operations and assets beyond deal completion.
“Liberty Acquisition Protect is a game-changer for private equity firms, offering a readily available risk solution for each acquisition, a predictable cost structure, and a seamless way to de-risk both the past and the future of the asset. This is an exciting innovation, and we are pleased to be able to offer this vastly improved transactional liability product to our clients,” said Lewis.
The product is an enhancement to Liberty Global Transaction Solutions’ W&I transaction liability insurance, and initially covers Singapore, Hong Kong, Australia and New Zealand.
Liberty Acquisition Protect™ offers a streamlined, efficient way to de‑risk acquisitions, with readily available risk solutions for each deal and predictable cost structures. The bundled solution provides a differentiated, value‑added offering, expanding the level of protection beyond the scope of traditional W&I insurance.
