Providing access to worldwide markets

The corporate risks team provides access to worldwide markets benefiting our clients through our unique structure

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.

Placement Services

We provide placement services across the major insurance classes of:

  • Property and business interruption

  • Primary and excess liability 

  • Motor and employers’ liability, in the UK and their global equivalents 

  • Machinery breakdown & contractors plant & equipment

  • Natural catastrophe perils (wind/flood/earthquake)

  • Political violence, sabotage & terrorism

  • Alternative risk transfer including captives and parametric triggers

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 

  • Drive the process with clear and concise program options 

  • Provide efficient & effective claims handling - because there is no insurance policy so expensive as one that does not pay claims!

Client service 

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. The firm also invest more of its profits back into our business as we do not have to satisfy the demands of shareholders and analysts.

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.

On 6 November 2024, kidnappers in Toronto forced Dean Skurka into a vehicle during rush hour at a downtown intersection near the National Ballet of Canada. Kidnappers later released Skurka, the CEO of cryptocurrency firm WonderFi, after receiving a ransom of $720,660. Skurka emerged from the ordeal uninjured, but his plight illustrates the growing risk of harassment, extortion, and kidnapping that executives face, particularly for those who work in the digital asset sector. Safety threats are not limited to executives in just one or a few industries. However, as digital assets have gained visibility in recent years, criminals increasingly view the sector as a ripe opportunity for ill-gotten financial gain. That means digital asset companies must reassess several protocols, ranging from their physical and digital security measures to when and how often executives surface in public settings, and even how often they use social media.Why executive security should be top-of-mind for digital asset companies

Live music: building resilience against political violence risks

Event cancellation typically stems from adverse weather or the non-appearance of artists and key personnel. However, stakeholders within the entertainment industry must also recognize the threat of political violence to live productions – particularly as the methods of threat actors evolve. Robust risk mitigation of violence at live events requires a holistic approach from all parties. Close collaboration and understanding of all contingencies and protections is critical to ensuring the safety of performers and spectators, alike.
