2025 Transaction Solutions Global Claims Study: EMEA
Managing Deal Risk to Secure Investments and Enhance Returns
We are excited to present the sixth annual edition of the Aon Transaction Solutions Global Claims Study: EMEA.
Aon has handled over 1,600 global claims and achieved an industry-leading $1.75 billion in recovery for our clients. After years of claims and payments, we can conclude that whether large or small, valid claims are being paid, insurers are accepting multiplied damages where appropriate, and the policies are effectively allowing our clients to mitigate their deal risk exposure. For this reason, in this year’s claims study we are shifting the focus of our data analysis to highlight how Aon’s historical claims data can assist clients, advisors, and insurers on their next deal. This means leveraging our vast experience and continuous years of data tracking to help our clients better predict future risks and secure deal value.
