The Global Claims Study 2026

For M&A professionals, understanding post-deal risk is just as important as identifying investment opportunities. The Global Claims Study 2026 provides a data-driven analysis of real claims experience across W&I, R&W, tax liability, and contingent risk insurance.

Now in its seventh edition, the study explores claim trends across regions and sectors, highlights the most common causes of loss, and examines the evolving role of transaction insurance in today's deal environment. Based on real-world claims data, the report offers practical insights into where risks emerge and how insurance helps protect value long after a transaction closes.
