We listen and understand our clients’ challenges and then choose the most competitive market both in terms of breadth and certainty of coverage  at competitive pricing.

Our team of experienced partners and associates have no other corporate responsibilities and is therefore focused solely on our clients and their needs. Our clients have direct access to our most senior people who personally look after corporate challenges, placement obstacles or claims management.

This approach has enabled them to nurture long term relationships with both their clients and insurer partners alike.

Our Services

We will identify and engage with all appropriate markets targeting the key decision makers at each insurer to:

  • Create innovative program designs

  • Ensure your business, key messages and objectives are comprehensively conveyed to the underwriters in order to develop strong market relationships

  • Positively challenge both new and incumbent markets to provide competitive terms

Lockton’s status as a Limited Liability Partnership is critical to the service provided. Our people have a substantial stake in our firm and therefore care passionately about their performance.

Lockton have people on the ground where it matters to act on our clients’ behalf with relevant local knowledge and relationships.

Global Marketing and Placement

Our marketing approach centres around four basic principles:

Developing first class underwriting submissions 

Lockton will present your risks in context and market them in the most positive way to insurers. By fully understanding your business and risk profile we are able to differentiate our clients from the many other submissions underwriters see.

Involving you 

We understand that no one knows your operations and your risk management philosophy better than you. We actively encourage key stakeholders from across your business to meet with insurers. Building insurers’ understanding of the risk management procedures that you currently have in place is key in negotiations. With a more detailed understanding of your activities insurers gain a greater appreciation for your business and in many cases, this will be reflected in coverage and pricing. 

Negotiating directly with “decision makers” at insurers

Our marketing discussions are held directly with insurance company senior management regardless of territory.  These contacts promote meaningful communication across underwriting teams and a true commitment by all parties to effective long-term partnerships.

Leveraging existing relationships 

We do not encourage our clients to remarket every year or to solely chase the lowest premium. We actively encourage a partnership approach whereby long standing relationships can be leveraged when issues or disputes arise. 

We're here to help

We bring creative thinking and an entrepreneurial spirit to the insurance business and are uniquely positioned to help you succeed.

Law firms: should you purchase a wills bank?

A wills bank is a centralised storage system for original wills and estate planning documents, often used by law firms to manage and safeguard clients' testamentary documents. Purchasing a wills bank can provide law firms with long-term client retention and business opportunities. However, it also comes with regulatory responsibilities under the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) Code of Conduct and potential implications for your insurance. In this article we explore the advantages and disadvantages of purchasing a wills bank, the compliance and insurance risks to consider, and how risk mitigation can help you overcome some of the disadvantages detailed below.A wills bank is a centralised storage system for original wills and estate planning documents, often used by law firms to manage and safeguard clients' testamentary documents.

Cyber-physical risk in the marine sector: a wake-up call from the MSC Antonia

The recent grounding of the MSC Antonia near the Eliza Shoals off Jeddah on 10 May 2025 has brought into sharp focus the real-world consequences of cyber-physical attacks in the maritime sector – and particularly within the MENA region. Analysis by respected maritime intelligence firms such as Pole Star Global and Windward indicate that the vessel's navigational systems were likely compromised by GPS jamming, leading to incorrect positioning data and ultimately to the grounding incident. This event underscores the growing cyber threat to vessel movement in the region – one with potential outcomes including groundings, collisions, and environmental harm. For MENA, where critical trade routes such as the Strait of Hormuz and the Suez Canal are lifelines of global commerce, the implications are particularly serious. Regional security dynamics, increased reliance on digital systems, and proximity to cyber-capable nation-state actors elevate both the frequency and severity of these risks. Despite this, in our work with marine clients across the Middle East and North Africa, we continue to observe a significant disconnect between emerging cyber threats and existing risk transfer arrangements. That gap must close before the next incident occurs.

Law firms: unlocking the benefits of effective management

Recent years have seen a positive shift in the legal sector: from coping with stress, to making the workplace a better and more supportive place to work. But despite some signs of change, many firms continue to struggle when it comes to delivering effective management. Solving this problem can be hugely beneficial, not only helping to avoid stress among staff, but also mitigating people and compliance risks, and supporting efforts to attract and retain staff.Recent years have seen a positive shift in the legal sector: from coping with stress, to making the workplace a better and more supportive place to work.
