BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

Ironshore International said on Wednesday that its mergers & acquisitions unit has enhanced its coverages to include environmental risks that can arise during deals.

The Hamilton, Bermuda-based insurer said that the environmental coverage for M&A was made possible through collaboration with its environmental unit, Ironshore Environmental.

Specifically, the new coverage offers companies undergoing a merger or acquisition coverage for first and third-party exposure for reimbursement of cleanup and remuneration costs, and third-party liabilities arising from damage surrounding sudden, accidental and gradual pollution incidents.

“Ironshore’s comprehensive cover is underwritten by a team of specialists with in-depth understanding of the nuances of diverse mergers and acquisitions transactions and environmental risk exposures,” Robert Brown, global head of Ironshore’s Mergers & Acquisitions Unit said in a statement. “Our cross-divisional expertise provides clients with customized insurance solutions that could, otherwise, significantly impact the success of an M&A deal.”

“Ironshore Environmental is thrilled to be joining forces with our M&A group to provide environmental solutions to issues that can often hinder a domestic or international M&A transaction from closing or adversely affect the offers terms and conditions,” John O’Brien, CEO of Ironshore Environmental, said in the statement.
