Unrivalled market access, best-in-class insurance solutions

Lockton’s dedicated Casualty practice is made up of highly experienced brokers with broad technical knowledge and detailed market insight. Offering full and unparalleled access to the London, European, US and Bermudan insurance markets, we are uniquely placed to secure the best possible solution for your business.

We have strong experience placing business across North America, Australia, Latin America, Africa and Continental Europe and use our global knowledge to access the market in the best location to meet our clients’ requirements.

Backed by extensive market experience and backgrounds in both broking and underwriting, our brokers undertake challenging and complex negotiations from a position of strength. Our fully integrated broking team provides a full placement service, from preparation of marketing documents through the negotiation stage to invoicing and issuing of contract certain wordings. This ensures we deliver an efficient, accurate and responsive service, both through the renewal process and mid-term.

Our teams have strong retail broking experience and are comfortable in providing a strategic and collegiate approach to enhance our transactional expertise. This allows us to work with you at an early stage during new business opportunities to help craft innovative programme design options.
