Our Global Political Risk and Structured Credit Practice includes a strong London-based team whose broking, underwriting, banking and legal backgrounds combine with their experience working with private and public sector insureds and insurers.
Within the last three years we have witnessed a global credit crisis, Sovereign bail-outs and an ongoing geopolitical crisis affecting much of the Middle East. Companies which trade or invest in overseas markets and banks which lend to those companies, are exposed to contract default or political intervention.
Political risk insurance has to be flexible – policies can cover individual transactions or a portfolio of risks. Our areas of expertise include:
- Financial institutions – trade, commodity, export, structured and project finance
- Trading houses – stocks fixed assets and non-payment
- Corporates
Our team ensures that clients are aware of all of the options which exist along with new market trends. We make sure our clients have the right level of information required to explain their decisions to their employees, board members and shareholders.
