Reimagined
Who we are
We provide bespoke M&A solutions for expanding businesses, both for the buy and the sell sides of M&A transactions.
AMANIKI was launched in April 2019 by Niki M. Demirbilek, a pioneer of W&I insurance in Europe. Niki and her experienced team underwrite tailored M&A insurance products through a broad appetite in terms of jurisdictions and industry segment.
We deliver our multi-lingual (German, Italian, English, Turkish and French) skilled offering by Underwriters with legal and accountancy backgrounds.We underwrite complex crossborder deals.
Our management, underwriting and claims teams are recognised as leading experts in the transactional liability insurance market. The main tenets of our offering are a market leading underwriting expertise, breadth of appetite, speed of response, and flexibility of service.
We are keen to write a wide spectrum of risks from smaller M&A deals, to larger, more complex transactions. We pride ourselves on our appetite to attach in the primary
layer, where we can be most meaningful to our clients in demonstrating our values, competencies, and claims expertise.
Rising Edge has acquired AMANIKI in 2024. We are a London-headquartered underwriting agency, delivering innovative specialty insurance solutions through a tech based platform, a data led underwriting mentality, and a prime focus on best in class client and broker servicing.
We have EU presence via a Frankfurt office, to serve our EU/EEA clients and brokers. Since our launch in 2021, we have built a market leading Management Liability offering, led by Yoel Brightman.
