    Escrow Release

    Providing Risk Transfer for Known, Threatened or Existing Litigation

    Description

    Description

    Portfolio Escrow Release provides PE firms and companies with the ability to successfully ring-fence litigation exposure and transfer the full financial risk of known, threatened or pending liabilities. With Portfolio Escrow Release, the insurance carrier assumes the financial risks and liabilities for the portfolio company in exchange for a known, fixed cost. With full risk transfer of the litigation and indemnity exposures, the PE firm can: 1) distribute remaining funds in the portfolio; 2) stop ongoing legal, accounting, and compliance expenses in maintaining the fund; 3) calculate the fund’s IRR for purposes of incentive fees and track record; and 4) eliminate the uncertain financial and outcome risks of ongoing liabilities like litigation, tax or specific indemnities.

    How it Works

    How It Works

    Each policy is customized to meet the firm’s specific business, financial and legal objectives. In exchange for the insurance premium, the insurance carrier will:

    • For litigation: take over the defense of the litigation.
    • Take financial responsibility for defense costs: and cover any adverse judgement.
    • Take financial responsibility for any other indemnities covered by the escrow including tax exposure.
