Background

About Joshua Begner

I advise Israeli and international buyers on complex M&A transactions — domestically and cross-border. I lead the Private Equity and M&A practice for WTW Israel, specializing in Representations & Warranties insurance and transactional risk solutions used to structure and de-risk acquisitions. Before moving into insurance, I spent 10 years as a senior M&A lawyer at SJ Berwin and Willkie Farr & Gallagher in London. That experience shapes how I approach every transaction — from a deal execution and risk allocation perspective, not just an insurance one.My work sits at the intersection of: • Global buyers acquiring Israeli companies • Israeli private equity and strategics investing abroad • Founder-led exits in the Israeli tech ecosystem • Cross-border risk structuring and negotiation strategy Whether inbound or outbound, sophisticated transactions require careful structuring of risk. Insurance is not an add-on. It is a strategic tool that can increase competitiveness, unlock certainty and facilitate negotiation. If you’re executing a complex transaction involving Israeli capital or Israeli companies, I’m always happy to connect.
