Doubling Down on Excellence: Devonshire Underwriting Celebrates Growth

Since our launch in early April 2024, Devonshire Underwriting has made significant strides in the transactional risk insurance sector. Today, we are thrilled to celebrate a notable milestone: doubling the size of our team. This growth underscores our commitment to excellence and our ability to attract top talent in the industry.

Welcoming New Talent

In the past few months, we have welcomed several exceptional professionals to our team, each bringing unique expertise and enthusiasm to our dynamic environment.

  • Michael Grant, who joined us in July as an Underwriting Manager, brings a wealth of experience and market connections, enhancing our underwriting capabilities and senior team.
  • Sam Jeater, who came on board in April as an Underwriting Manager, adds strategic insight, financial expertise and a deep understanding of the industry, strengthening our leadership.
  • Our new Analysts, Henry Denegri and Ellie Jackson, represent the future of our industry. They join us with impressive academic credentials and a passion for finance, law, mergers & acquisitions, and insurance.

A Compelling Market Offering

Founded by our quartet of Partners – Natasha Attray, James Dodd, James Fletcher, and Charles Turnham – Devonshire Underwriting has quickly carved out a compelling offering in the market. 

Our team of eight stands out now for its expertise and focus, providing specialised transactional insurance products (including Warranty & Indemnity, Tax, and Contingent), to a global clientele, with an agile and partner-led service proposition. July marked another significant achievement for Devonshire Underwriting. We received approval from Lloyd’s to write business in Europe and officially launched into the European market. This expansion allows us to serve key markets, including the Nordics, Germany, France, Spain, Benelux, Poland, Italy, and CEE countries. These regions are known for their robust M&A environments and substantial transactional risk activity.

Fostering New Talent

We are particularly proud of our commitment to fostering new talent in the industry. By welcoming graduate-level analysts like Henry and Ellie, we are providing a platform for individuals passionate about our field to launch their careers. Our knowledge-sharing culture ensures that all team members, from seasoned professionals to newcomers, continuously learn and grow.

At Devonshire, our culture is built on the pillars of agility, proactivity, and expertise. These values are not mere buzzwords; they are the foundation of our approach. In the fast-paced world of transactional liability insurance, we pride ourselves on our ability to adapt swiftly and provide precise, bespoke solutions tailored to each client’s needs.

Meeting Market Demands

The M&A landscape in the remainder of 2024 is expected to be vibrant, driven by a broad trend towards more stability in interest rates, as well as pent-up demand, and industry-specific pressures,  which are increasing demand for transactional risk insurance.

As we expand, we are well-positioned to meet the growing demand across Europe. Our expertise in handling complex risks enables us to support large transactions in sectors such as infrastructure, technology, logistics, healthcare, and financial services. We anticipate a number of significant deals emerging throughout the year and are already involved in early discussions to support these transactions.

Commitment to Excellence

At the heart of Devonshire’s approach is a commitment to technical excellence, innovation, and premium service levels. Our underwriting process is characterised by meticulous attention to detail and a deep understanding of the nuances inherent in transactional risk insurance. 

We extend our heartfelt thanks to our clients, brokers, partners, and team members who are supporting us on our journey so far. As we look to the future, we remain committed to upholding our values of excellence, innovation, and agility – and are proud to be doubling down on our expertise with our talented team.

Spotlight On: Contingent Risks

Spotlight On: Contingent Risks

The last few years have seen a shift in legal contingent risk insurance. There’s an improved quality and quantity of products, and Devonshire is well placed to be at the forefront of the market, writes Charles Turnham, Partner, Devonshire Underwriting

What trends are you currently seeing in contingent risk insurance and how is capacity appetite developing?

It’s an exciting time for contingent risk insurance, which is the youngest of our products. The last two to three years has seen Underwriters and Brokers investing in talented specialists with litigation backgrounds that have come from other parts of industry, who have really developed and evolved contingent solutions to align with modern challenges and requirements. There’s been a lot more creative and granular thinking around the product. So, to my mind, expert resourcing has been a key factor in the improvements made as, in the past, products would have been developed with something of a one size fits all approach, and lacked a bespoke and progressive lens.  

Over the past decade, the concept of contingent risk insurance has evolved from a narrow focus on litigation-based risks (sometimes referred to as “Judgment Preservation Insurance”) to encompass a broader spectrum of risks, including M&A-driven opportunities, insolvency scenarios, and capital protection structures.

How do you see your own contingent insurance product developing to meet client demand?

Devonshire is, I believe, very well placed to be responsive and innovative with our approach to this complex class. James Dodd (Founder, Devonshire Underwriting) and I are very experienced in this area, having seen the market evolve over many years, and we are positioning Devonshire at the forefront, pushing the horizon forward for this product line. Our approach is to assess each situation on merit, rather than labelling it in predefined categories. There are, of course, certain predetermined considerations to make (for example, we will need to be satisfied as to the legal risk analysis, the applicable governing law and forum, and the commercial alignment between Insured and Insurers), but we want to be flexible in our thinking. By doing so, we can tailor our solutions to the unique needs of each client, ensuring that we address specific risks with precision and creativity. This flexibility allows us to stay ahead of emerging trends and continuously refine our strategies to meet the evolving demands of the market and the nature of contingent risk. We believe that the product has particular potential to be more widely applied to address issues arising in M&A and restructuring-driven scenarios.

What are the biggest challenges in the European contingent market, and how are insurers responding to the evolving risk landscape?

Often there can be a process challenge here. The market has faced a scenario where the products are complex and assessing insurability hasn’t been straightforward – it often requires a significant time commitment upfront from all parties to appropriately assess and price risks. We’re well placed to meet that head on. Devonshire has an agile structure and we’ll pivot to the opportunity if we see it, and can harness our collective experience and insight to assess each risk on an independent basis.  

We’ve seen recent adverse litigation developments in the US on insured deals that will provide an ongoing challenge to underwriters and brokers in the space, but our view remains that with careful risk selection and strong underwriting discipline, there’s very significant potential for these products. By maintaining rigorous underwriting standards and leveraging our deep industry knowledge, we can effectively navigate these challenges and capitalise on emerging opportunities. Our disciplined approach ensures that we thoroughly assess risks, make informed risk-selection decisions, and continue to provide valuable and highly relevant solutions to our clients.

What is the state of play with M&A in the market at present?

The wider M&A market is choppy at the moment and, with general elections in various countries around the world taking place soon, there’s cautiousness, though there are some signs of tentative increase in pace and we’re slowly seeing some bigger deals emerging. 

As the summer progresses we’ll have a clearer view on how the remainder of the year will play out. 

Contingent insurance products are a natural hedge for M&A as they can de-risk M&A processes and release trapped assets. In some ways they’re M&A agnostic. As political and economic uncertainties begin to settle, the role of contingent insurance in providing stability and confidence in M&A transactions will become even more crucial. We anticipate that with a clearer political landscape, there will be renewed vigour in deal-making activities, further highlighting the importance of robust contingent solutions in mitigating risks and ensuring smooth transactions.

What would be your call to action to the market?

We see this product as being at an exciting stage. Similar to Tax, it provides protection against a known legal risk. We’ve seen impressive growth over the last 10 years, and we think the product can be used in a variety of different ways. My call to action is simple: to sustain profitable growth in this evolving and complex class, it is essential to maintain strong underwriting discipline and adopt a bespoke approach to risks. This market demands experienced underwriting partners who can offer tailored solutions that can address unique challenges and opportunities effectively. By rigorously assessing each situation and customising our strategies, we can continue to drive innovation and deliver exceptional value to our clients.

Cutting through the noise: Transactional Risk Market Outlook 2024

The M&A landscape in 2024 is expected to make more noise after a relatively quiet 2023, driven by several key factors. These include potential stability in interest rates, pent-up demand, and industry-specific pressures to consolidate or divest, particularly with private equity firms anticipated to re-enter the market due to improved debt market conditions and the prospect of more favourable exit strategies. 

This is a welcome contrast to 2023, which was marked by subdued activity, influenced by tepid economic growth, inflationary pressures, and cautious lending practices. The repercussions of these dynamics were evident over the last year, with a notable decline in both the frequency and value of transactions compared with previous years. 

Positive indicators
The more positive macroeconomic indicators shaping the start of 2024 are playing a pivotal role in influencing investor sentiment and the appetite for strategic transactions. Additionally, the global economic outlook is showing tentative signs of recovery, instilling greater confidence among stakeholders and an anticipated rebound in deal-making as interest rates stabilise.

The technology sector, especially areas such as AI, automation and decision intelligence platforms, may witness increased activity, although caution and hurdles such as antitrust scrutiny persist. Overall, while challenges remain, greater economic clarity and the end of rate hikes could fuel global M&A growth in the coming year.

From a regulatory standpoint, impending changes, particularly in regions such as the UK and Ireland, are expected to catalyse M&A activity. The looming prospect of regulatory shifts, including potential amendments to capital gains tax rates, has spurred a sense of urgency among business leaders, prompting them to expedite their M&A plans to capitalise on current favourable conditions.

From an insurance perspective, underwriting demand is also evolving in line with the changing dynamics of the M&A, legal, tax and regulatory landscape. In a complex risk segment, we are seeing strong demand from clients to work with teams that have extensive experience in underwriting complex legal and tax risks, and that are able to provide tailored solutions that address the intricacies of M&A transactions with precision.

A commitment to excellence
At the core of Devonshire’s approach lies a commitment to technical excellence, innovation and product relevance. Our underwriting process is characterised by meticulous attention to detail and a deep understanding of the nuances inherent in TR insurance. Leveraging a comprehensive suite of products, including Warranty & Indemnity (W&I) Insurance, Tax Insurance, and Contingency Insurance, we offer clients bespoke solutions that mitigate risks and help to reduce friction in transaction processes.

Warranty & Indemnity (W&I) Insurance, a cornerstone of Devonshire’s offerings, serves to safeguard M&A deals by providing coverage for warranties and indemnities given in transactions. Our agile underwriting structure allows us to address a broad spectrum of risks across various jurisdictions and sectors, offering flexibility and strategic insights to our clients.

Tax Insurance, another critical component of our portfolio, enables clients to secure known tax liabilities, thereby enhancing the viability of transactions and providing balance sheet certainty in an often ambiguous regulatory landscape. Through streamlined negotiations and proactive risk management strategies, we empower clients to navigate the complexities of tax-related risks with confidence.

Contingency Insurance, the third pillar of our product suite, offers comprehensive coverage for legal risks identified whether as part of a transaction process or otherwise, ranging from litigation risk to insolvency scenarios. Our team’s proven expertise in structuring creative solutions enables us to address a wide range of legal challenges, facilitate deals, protect legal assets and mitigate potential liabilities.

As we look ahead to 2024 and beyond – and in a market where differentiation and relevance are key – our team is committed to standing as trusted partners, assisting our clients through the intricacies of M&A transactions and legal uncertainty with commitment and expertise. 

Get in touch.
