Litigation Risk Solutions
The risk of significant or catastrophic loss from pending litigation can erode shareholder value, force reserve requirements that can negatively impact cash flow, or prevent a merger or acquisition from closing. On the plaintiff side, even after succeeding in winning a significant judgment in court or arbitration, businesses can protect against the risk that the judgment will be partially or completely reversed on appeal or that the awarded damage will be reduced, and enable early payment on the award.
Parties to litigation can also protect against exposure to significant legal costs in the proceedings. The solutions available to de-risk and monetize litigation and arbitration are increasingly sophisticated and can be tailored to achieve clients’ specific objectives.
How Aon Can Help
-
Plaintiff-Side Judgement Preservation Insurance
Businesses that win significant judgments at trial, on summary judgment, or in arbitration can lock in some or all of a damage award pending appeal. As a result, immediate balance sheet benefits can be reaped from judgments that otherwise might take years to become final, and which may ultimately be overturned. It also opens up the possibility of obtaining finance secured on the award.
-
Insurance-Backed Judgement Monetization
Judgment preservation insurance policyholders can accelerate payment on a judgment or arbitral award using non-recourse loan financing secured on the policy. The loan coupon and principal are repaid from the policy pay-out if the award is lost or from successful collection from the defendant if the award is upheld.
-
Defense-Side Adverse Judgement Insurance
Otherwise known as litigation buy-out, defense-side adverse judgment insurance helps businesses ring-fence litigation-related risks, enabling them to move forward with M&A deals, financings, or other transactions, and permitting them to otherwise operate unimpeded by the specter of a potential future catastrophic loss.
