At Munitus we understand the significant exposures faced by professional service firms and the subsequent requirements for them to maintain Professional Liability Insurance. We also recognise the importance of responsive claims handling and the ability to partner with clients when issues do arise, to ensure the best possible outcome for all parties involved.

The Munitus claims team is highly experienced in handling all aspects of Professional Liability claims and work hand in hand with the underwriting team. This collaboration ensures an increased level of knowledge and insight resulting in a more consistent approach and response to our clients needs. Our philosophy of developing strong relationships extends through our claims team, who, using established market relationships and extensive experience, work directly with brokers and Insureds to provide a knowledgeable and accessible claims offering.
