In a world where risks are ever-present, Lockton Norway stands as a beacon of stability and expertise. As a trusted partner in the Norwegian community for over 13 years, we've been simplifying the complexities of risk management and empowering businesses to thrive.
In a recent fireside chat with Anders Langeland Johannessen, CEO Lockton Norway discusses our company's unique approach to risk management and why Norwegian businesses should consider partnering with Lockton.
How would you describe the Norwegian insurance market?
For businesses in Norway the insurance market may look like a self-sufficient market, with locally operating insurers offering the products Norwegian businesses need. But while some innovations may be created locally, Norwegian insurance buyers could benefit from innovative solutions created and tested elsewhere. This is perhaps a gap in the market that Lockton may be able to fill, not least because of our strong foothold in the London Market and global relationships.
Why does Norway need Lockton?
Our teams in Norway will scour the most innovative solutions available globally and offer them to you locally, tailored to your specific needs. This also means making the Lockton values and philosophies available to your business in Norway: You will find us approachable, easy to deal with, and personal, as we will treat you as part of the Lockton family and design the high-quality solutions that suit your specific needs. Only an independent broker like Lockton can do this.
What makes Lockton stand out from other insurance brokers in Norway?
Lockton Norway is organised in a way that allows us to solely focus on you while benefitting from global Lockton expertise and capabilities. Instead of offering insurance solutions that are traditionally available to clients from siloed, specialised teams we look at your risk exposure comprehensively and consider the interconnectivity of risks. Looking at your business from different angles helps creating the best solutions.
Traditionally, brokers in marine and energy have taken an almost exclusively asset- based approach to protect companies, putting their efforts into sourcing cost- efficient cover for property & casualty and liability insurance for the vessels and related assets. The reality is that these companies also have responsibility for employees and liability exposures in the boardroom and their offices onshore. This is why we have a full service offering and a team that can take a holistic view on what clients’ need. Leveraging our excellence in professional indemnity expertise, our phenomenal People Solutions team and our marine and energy specialists, our comprehensive risk approach goes above and beyond.
Which sectors could benefit most from the Lockton Norway proposition?
We have the capabilities to service all sectors, and I think clients, independently of sectors, will benefit from our joined-up approach. Other brokers often work in siloed teams who suggest off-the-shelf solutions that only address a specific aspect of a business’ risk exposure. A fresh approach to risk and risk solutions will make our businesses more robust and sustainable.

Family-run and privately owned, our global network of dedicated associates will make sure they fully understand your business before tailoring creative solutions to your precise needs.
