What we bring to your business

  • Risk protection - Our risk control team works in partnership with our clients to provide a complete range of risk management support, including advice on protective measures to ensure your risk management strategy best protects your assets. Our expertise includes risk analysis, risk management strategy, business continuity planning and ongoing specialist advice.

  • Business impact analysis (BIA) - We work with you to understand the potential impact and cost of a major event at key premises. This is fundamental in revealing potential vulnerabilities and provides a foundation for building data-driven risk mitigation initiatives, or changes to your insurance programme structure and wording.

  • Business impact audit review - Building on the BIA, this audit puts greater focus on the financial impact of an event, ensuring your existing cover is fit for purpose. We will help you to de-risk ahead of any potential major claim, gathering key information for insurers and loss adjusters.

  • Programme structure design options - Our detailed analysis enables us to design a bespoke insurance programme with cover and limits that meet your specific needs now and into the future as your business evolves.

  • Major claims protocols and management - In conjunction with your key insurer and loss adjuster, we will work with you to design clear claims protocols in the event of a major loss event. This board-level roadmap encourages a stronger relationship between client, insurer and loss adjuster ahead of a major claim, which can work to expedite claim payments.

Multinational companies: navigating diverging regulatory environments

US President Donald Trump has recently issued several executive orders governing federal policy that are diverging from regulations in other jurisdictions in the Western world. This is creating a more challenging environment for multinational companies to navigate, raising the risk of companies failing to comply and thereby increasing the likelihood of directors' and officers' liability (D&O) related claims. The US government’s initiatives focus on corporate policies related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), but anti-bribery and environmental, social and governance (ESG) policies may also be impacted.US President Donald Trump has recently issued several executive orders governing federal policy that are diverging from regulations in other jurisdictions in the Western world.

Data centers: Protecting projects across the life cycle

While global sentiment may be subdued in some sectors, there is a lot of excitement about data centers. Demand for data center capacity is expected to grow rapidly in coming years, driven not only by customer demand but also by the rapid rise of artificial intelligence (AI) advancements. To meet this demand, AI data center capacity is conservatively projected to experience a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 40.5% through 2027, according to estimates from the International Data Corporation.
