Risk Capital Advisors expands into Europe with M&A specialist

M&A insurance specialist Risk Capital Advisors (RCA) has expanded into Europe with the launch of a new office in Amsterdam, under the leadership of Rob Faasen. Faasen has advised on M&A transactions for over 30 years. Prior to RCA, he merged his firm Faasen & Partners with Eversheds Sutherland Netherlands (BV) in 2008, where he remained senior partner until...

...earlier this year.

RCA noted that although the COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the M&A market, demand for specialist M&A insurance advice and transaction risk mitigation has grown substantially.

Rick Glover, managing director at RCA, said: “M&A insurance is a thriving and innovative tool to minimise risk and smooth the road for M&A transactions. The Netherlands is a growth market for M&A insurance given that some M&A advisors still do not consider M&A insurance solutions for their clients. But as sellers and buyers face difficult market conditions, stability and risk mitigation are of critical importance. We are delighted to appoint someone of Rob’s calibre, leadership qualities and corporate M&A legal experience.”
