Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) are complex transactions with multiple moving parts. Both buyers and sellers are often concerned about how contractual guarantees, taxes, or ongoing litigation might impact a merger or acquisitions. M&A Insurance or Transactional Risk Insurance is designed to help buyers and sellers navigate the turbulent waters of mergers and acquisitions. It provides an ability for a buyer or seller to reduce their exposure to claims against the representations and warranties contained in the sale documentation.





Join hackers, Palo Alto Networks, security forward APAC organisations, Cyber Risk Industry Specialists Deloitte, and more Security Leaders for an afternoon of virtual talks to learn about new cyber/ransomware threats, hacking tools, techniques and how even seemingly secure organisations can be laid bare.

Abstract: COVID-19 pandemic and the measures taken to limit the spread of the disease have significantly disrupted economic activity in countries around the world, resulting in significant business interruption losses. The vast majority of these losses are likely to be absorbed by policyholders as, unless governments (or courts) intervene, few companies have business interruption coverage that is likely to respond to these types of losses – exposing the existence of an important protection gap for some pandemic-related business interruption losses. This note provides an overview of how business interruption insurance against pandemic risk could be provided with support from governments, and some of the challenges and considerations necessary for establishing such a programme.

  • Unemployment is still well above pre-pandemic levels
    In April 2021 about 8 million more people in the OECD were unemployed than before the crisis.
  • Long spells of joblessness are a real risk
    At the end of 2020, there were 22 million more people jobless for more than 6 months compared to before the pandemic.
  • Massive drop in hours worked for low-paying jobs during pandemic
    Total hours worked in Q1 2021 still 7% lower than in Q4 2019.
  • Many governments heavily subsidised hours not worked to protect jobs
    Up to 21 million jobs may have been saved at the peak of the COVID-19 crisis.
  • Public employment services rapidly increased digital & remote services
    50% of public employment services offering remote access before COVID-19 and 80% during COVID-19 pandemic.
  • The labour market recovery will be slow in most countries

The human brain is the most dazzlingly complex entity in the entire known universe: 80 billion brain cells, with additional neural cells throughout the body. Each neuron connects across synaptic gaps to thousands of other neurons, resulting in trillions of connections responsible for all the brain’s internal communications and processing and all our external behaviors and creations.


The global pandemic has created new challenges and opportunities in almost every industry, and as the economy reopens competition will be intense. Winners will be those who most clearly understand their customer’s needs, collaborate to identify multiple solutions, prototype, iterate and bring new ideas to market. Those behaviors will only happen when people come together in the new, modern workplace.




There has never before been a company like Netflix. It has led nothing short of a revolution in the entertainment industries, generating billions of dollars in annual revenue while capturing the imaginations of hundreds of millions of people in over 190 countries. But to reach these great heights, Netflix, which launched in 1998 as an online DVD rental service, has had to reinvent itself over and over again. This type of unprecedented flexibility would have been impossible without the counterintuitive and radical management principles that cofounder Reed Hastings established from the very beginning. Hastings rejected the conventional wisdom under which other companies operate and defied tradition to instead build a culture focused on freedom and responsibility, one that has allowed Netflix to adapt and innovate as the needs of its members and the world have simultaneously transformed.
