Accident and injury – including:

The Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025, commonly known as Martyn’s Law, is now in effect. Following a long period of campaigning and advocacy, it achieved Royal Assent in April 2025, and it is now in its 24-month implementation phase. Businesses must be compliant by May 2027, or will likely face severe penalties for non-compliance. The upcoming insurance renewal season between March and July represents a natural inflection point. It is when many businesses assess security measures, update their risk documentation, and evidence controls – all of which will be central to demonstrating compliance under Martyn’s Law. Therefore, addressing any gaps now is essential to ensure that businesses have enough time to strengthen preparedness before the law becomes enforceable.Martyn’s Law: the time to prepare is now

Refurbish or rebuild? Considerations for office property owners

Recent developments within the commercial real estate (CRE) market are forcing asset holders to rethink their real estate strategy. To remain agile and attractive to tenants, office property owners are considering whether to refurbish existing stock, or construct new blocks from scratch. However, this is rarely a straightforward decision. Economic pressures, evolution in tenant demands, developments within ESG requirements, and planning considerations are among the most pressing factors that complicate how CRE asset holders seek to retain tenants and protect long-term asset value.Recent developments within the commercial real estate (CRE) market are forcing asset holders to rethink their real estate strategy.

Professional services: Key considerations for implementing AI

Artificial intelligence (AI) tools are increasingly embedded within professional services, with uses that range from automating routine tasks, to conducting deep-level data analysis. Firms are deploying both third‑party tools and internally‑developed solutions at pace, with adoption growing quickly, particularly among junior staff. But this embracing of AI within the professional services sector isn’t risk-free. A survey of underwriters conducted by the Lloyd’s Market Association (LMA) identifies Professional Indemnity (PI) as the insurance line most likely to experience AI-related losses, driven by the potential for erroneous or hallucinated outputs. Despite the clear operational benefits of this technology, the risks associated with AI use are bringing about increased regulatory scrutiny and a heightened need to demonstrate responsible implementation. Against this backdrop, we’ve set out some key areas of risk that professional services firms may wish to keep in mind when developing and implementing AI tools. Any roll-out of AI must be conducted in a manner that is both responsible and aligned with professional, ethical, regulatory, and insurer expectations.Artificial intelligence (AI) tools are increasingly embedded within professional services, with uses that range from automating routine tasks, to conducting deep-level data analysis.
