Syndicate Claims Management Philosophy
We are here to support our customers in the event of a loss under their insurance policy. We are here to deliver a high-quality, specialist claims service which is bespoke to the needs of our customers as they are at the very heart of our business, and they are affected by the decisions that we make.
We work in a partnership with our customers, and they must be treated fairly and reasonably. It is our claim’s philosophy to ensure all notifications are adjusted in a fair and prompt manner and that all valid claims are identified, adjusted, and settled promptly. We will ensure that no claim is unreasonably rejected, no policy is unreasonably avoided or terminated and that all disputes are appropriately managed.
We are committed to fair, timely and expeditious claims handling in compliance with Lloyd’s expectations and we are conversant with and meet all applicable compliance policies and requirements.
Our claims team combines deep technical expertise, extensive international experience, and a collaborative approach that delivers consistent results across all classes and jurisdictions. Collectively, we:
- Manage complex and high-value losses worldwide across General Liability, Employers’ and Public Liability, Product Liability, Professional Lines (PI, D&O, FI, E&O), Life Sciences, Healthcare, Environmental, Cyber, Aviation, Marine, Energy, Political Risk and Trade Credit.
- Operate across global jurisdictions including the UK, US, Canada, Australia, Continental Europe, and Latin America, with strong knowledge of both Civil and Common Law systems.
- Oversee TPAs, DCAs and delegated authority arrangements, ensuring performance against SLAs, technical accuracy, and robust MI and bordereaux reporting.
- Deliver strong regulatory and market engagement, providing transparent reporting to Lloyd’s, Boards, and Reserving Committees, and aligning claims management with governance and audit standards.
- Provide client and broker service excellence, from first notification of loss to settlement, ensuring proactive communication, technical clarity, and timely resolution.
- Drive operational efficiency, through development of claims manuals, system/process improvements, loss-run analysis, CAT response frameworks, and data-driven performance dashboards.
- Bring proven negotiation, mediation and litigation strategy skills, achieving favourable settlements and mitigating risk on high-exposure matters.
- Contribute thought leadership and training, mentoring junior staff, delivering market presentations, and providing subject matter expertise on complex legal and technical issues.
