The founder’s story
Scott’s interest in RWI began in 2012 as a first-year M&A associate at Kirkland & Ellis: on two sell-side PE deals he saw the contrast up close — one required the seller to leave roughly 10% of enterprise value in escrow; the other used RWI. At the time, most transaction parties had never heard of RWI, including counsel at leading M&A firms. By 2017 the product appeared on approximately 20% of U.S. private M&A deals, and Scott became one of the first M&A lawyers to move into the global transactional risk insurance market.
Unlike most RWI brokers, Scott also oversaw ~350 commercial insurance policies representing ~$25M of annual premium*, including buy-side commercial insurance due diligence engagement. Scott also has experience placing residual value and non-payment insurance products.
