Lawyers & Solicitors

We have extensive expertise in writing Law firm business and with it the varying and often unique challenges that our clients face in this industry.

In the US we write Primary and Excess participations and are able to consider firms of all sizes, from specialist niche practices to large multinational firms, with no restrictions on practice areas or industry.

Our International business is focused on Excess participations for Solicitors, Attorney’s, Notaries and other legal professionals, with an equally broad appetite in terms of practice areas and industries, typically focusing on firms with upwards of 10 practicing professionals.
