What is a tax insurance company?

Analyzing the risk of the tax position to determine if coverage should be available and at what price. Most require tax opinions from a law firm so the attorneys at the insurance co are reviewing the tax opinion and deal docs. Similar to the role attorneys play when the insurance companies issue RWI policies.

What companies / firms do this?

Finished my loop for a marketing role 2 weeks ago, and got an email the next day that they wanted to give me an offer. Had my initial call with recruiter to put the offer together. It was lower than I expected, and we ended that call positively as I needed some time to consider, and we agreed to follow up in a few days. It’s now been a week and both recruiters have been unresponsive. Did I just lose this offer bc I tried to negotiate a more equitable comp pack, or is it a slow process?
