We really like the HWF output and it’s always a pleasure dealing with the team. HWF have always achieved seller/buyer and funder satisfaction on any of our numerous deals.

Martin Waller, Investra

I am always happy to recommend HWF on deals; their in-depth experience of both M&A and the insurance market, combined with a pragmatic approach, leads to smoother processes, better coverage positions and ultimately happier clients

Aaron Fairhurst, CMS

It’s always a pleasure working with HWF. They are very responsive and work hard in driving the W&I process forward as quickly as possible to finalise policy terms.

Kay Hobbs, TLT

We use HWF wherever the opportunity arises because they advise, structure and execute W&I insurance policies with great efficiency. Our trust in their service and process allows us to focus on our job resulting in positive client outcomes on their M&A deals

Helen Croke, Ropes & Gray

HWF’s ability to drive the process forward de-risks the M&A processes we are involved with. We count on their reliability and expertise, even where there are complex issues or challenging timetables
