What Are the Key Differences Between Corgi and Newfront Representations and Warranties Insurance?

Specialty Quote vs a Deal-Team Broker

Corgi keeps R&W out of its instant-quote flow and lists a 1–14 day turnaround. Newfront starts with a consultation, then its Private Equity & Transaction Advisory Group works as an extension of your deal team: diligence staff find exposures, mitigation and savings during the deal, backed by data analytics. Choose Corgi if you're a startup doing a straightforward acquisition or sale; choose Newfront if you're a PE buyer or on a complex deal that needs diligence support. [3] [7] [8] [5]

Other Transaction Risks

Newfront places R&W for unknown risks and separately offers tax insurance and contingent-liability insurance for hard-to-place transaction risks. Corgi describes buyer or seller protection against losses from breaches of the purchase agreement, with no related deal covers. Neither names an insurer. [8] [3] [4]

What Should You Confirm in Corgi and Newfront Representations and Warranties Insurance Quotes?

  • Ask both which insurer issues the policy. [8] [4]
  • Ask Newfront whether tax or contingent-liability cover is in the same placement. [8]
  • Check that Corgi's 1–14 days fits your signing date. [3] [7]
  • Get limits and retentions from both; neither publishes them. [5] [8]

Areas of coverage

Corgi

  • role: Corgi lists Representations and Warranties insurance as a specialty coverage quoted with a 1-14 day turnaround, not through its instant online quote flow used for CGL, D&O, Tech E&O, and its other core policies. Homepage and startup-insurance page policy-card labeling as of 2026-09-23. No dedicated product page was found; direct URL guesses (/representations-and-warranties, /representations-warranties) returned 404s.company-reportedSource ↗Source ↗
  • coverage: Corgi describes the product as protecting buyers or sellers in M&A transactions against financial loss arising from breaches of representations and warranties in a purchase agreement. One-sentence catalog description; no policy form, insuring agreement, exclusion, retention, or underwriting-diligence requirement is published for this line.company-reportedSource ↗Source ↗
  • eligibility: Corgi targets this product at businesses on either side of an M&A transaction (buyer or seller), which is a narrower, transaction-triggered audience than its startup-lifecycle packages built around CGL, D&O, Tech E&O, and Cyber. Catalog description; no deal-size, industry, or state restrictions are published for this line.company-reportedSource ↗Source ↗
  • insurer: No page names the carrier that issues Representations and Warranties coverage. Corgi's general disclosures say coverage may be underwritten by affiliated carriers, including Technology Risk Retention Group, or by third-party partner carriers depending on product, jurisdiction, and risk profile, without identifying which applies to this line.

  • limits: No limit, retention, or illustrative policy structure is published for Representations and Warranties, unlike Corgi's Tech E&O and Umbrella pages, which show example limits. Reviewed pages as of 2026-09-23; limits would appear on an actual quote.not-disclosedSource ↗Source ↗
  • application: Representations and Warranties sits outside Corgi's instant-quote flow; the site groups it with policies quoted in 1-14 days rather than through the self-serve online application used for its core coverages.

  • services: The reviewed pages do not describe due-diligence support, deal-team access, or other transaction-specific services tied to this line. Homepage and startup-insurance page as read on 2026-09-23.not-foundSource ↗Source ↗

Newfront

  • role: Newfront places representations and warranties (R&W) insurance through its Private Equity & Transaction Advisory Group, which it describes as operating as "an extension of your deal-team" during M&A transactions.

  • eligibility: Newfront markets R&W insurance to clients executing mergers and acquisitions, working alongside private-equity deal teams; the reviewed page does not set a minimum deal size or industry restriction. Mergers & Acquisitions page; a practice-wide description, not a stated R&W-specific eligibility threshold.company-reportedSource ↗
  • coverage: Newfront describes R&W insurance as protecting clients "across unknown risks" arising from a transaction, distinguishing it from the tax insurance and contingent-liability insurance the same team also places for "hard-to-place transaction risks."

Mergers & Acquisitions page's Transaction liability paragraph; general description, not a policy form summary.company-reportedSource ↗
  • insurer: Newfront says it has relationships with transaction liability insurers but does not name an R&W carrier. As a broker, the insurer varies by deal. Mergers & Acquisitions page's Subject matter expertise section.not-disclosedSource ↗
  • limits: Published limits, retentions or premium rates for R&W coverage were not found on the reviewed page. Mergers & Acquisitions page as read on 2026-09-23; limits and pricing are deal-specific for broker placements.not-disclosedSource ↗
  • services: Newfront says its due-diligence professionals "operate on deal-time identifying key risk exposures, mitigation solutions, and cost-savings opportunities," and that its technology and data-analytics capabilities support the M&A insurance team's work, including transaction-liability placement. Mergers & Acquisitions page's Due diligence and Technology & data-driven results sections; describes the M&A practice generally, not R&W-exclusive services.company-reportedSource ↗
  • application: You engage Newfront's Private Equity & Transaction Advisory Group for R&W placement by requesting a consultation, which asks for your industry, company details and the service you need rather than issuing an instant quote. General consultation intake, not an R&W-specific application path.company-reportedSource ↗
