Aviso Specialty has launched its Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A) Practice, strengthening its capabilities in transactional risk and private equity advisory.
The practice is led by Kane Sim, a specialist in transactional risk insurance with over 20 years’ experience across insurance, M&A and law.
“Dealmakers are under increasing pressure to execute quickly while managing more complex risks. Insurance is now a strategic tool in addressing these challenges. Our focus is on delivering practical, commercially minded advice and achieving strong outcomes for clients.”
Kane advises corporates and investment funds on using insurance to support transaction execution. He has worked on hundreds of deals and structured many of the region’s largest M&A insurance placements. Prior to joining Aviso Specialty, he held senior leadership roles, most recently leading the M&A offering at a global broker in the Pacific region.
As investors navigate tighter timelines and increasingly complex risk environments, the launch reflects the growing role of insurance in deal execution.
The M&A Practice supports clients across the investment lifecycle, with solutions including warranty & indemnity (W&I) insurance, tax liability insurance and contingent risk insurance.
“Insurance is now a critical part of deal execution. Kane brings deep expertise and a strong track record, further strengthening our ability to support clients on complex transactions.”
