Let Overwatch train and develop your existing Risk Management Team. We have been in your shoes and we have professional and practical training and experiences to share with you. We can tailor a program of training to your needs. We can start with the basics and move up or we can offer higher level insights specifically targeted at reinsurance structuring, deductible level management, retained risks management and financing and third party adjustors. We can help you strike the right balance with the risks you want to manage internally vs. the services you wish to procure from outside vendors and third parties. We can also suggest software to help you manage the information that is critical to your risk oversight processes and your risk assessment processes.

Overwatch performs and teaches Enterprise Risk Management (ERM), which is different from Traditional Risk Management (TRM) practices in force in most organizations. ERM looks at both the upside and downside of risk, where TRM focuses specifically on losses and causes of loss. ERM is a more modern and total organizational approach to all risks or uncertainties facing an organization that can result either in financial gain or financial loss.

ERM risks are separated into four main categories:

Overwatch has experience conducting Merger & Acquisition due diligence as an integral and important part of an M&A due diligence deal team.

We further have experience procuring finite risk policies and buyer or seller side M&A insurance to cover financial liabilities or uncertainties that are uncovered during the M&A due diligence process.

Consider utilizing insurance in your next merger or acquisition as a means of limiting or reducing funds kept in escrow.
