Power & Utilities
";

Although the Power & Utility industry is well established, it remains one of the most dynamic and exciting industry segments. Regulated utilities and independent power producers have experienced some of the most difficult and turbulent years faced by any industry from a financial, regulatory and technology perspective in recent times and it is clear this challenge will continue into the foreseeable future.
";
content = content + "
Our team of insurance professionals and advisors work with clients in the power and utility sector to provide insurance and other risk funding and transfer solutions that respond to these challenges. As the industry becomes more competitive, our goal is to help clients achieve a sustainable competitive advantage. To do this, we engage a strategy of continuous improvement in our approach to manage their risks.
";
content = content + "
Insurance solutions for the power and utility industry are provided predominantly by the larger mutual insurance companies such as Associated Electric & Gas Insurance Services (AEGIS) and Energy Insurance Mutual (EIM). Being mutual insurers, these organizations enjoy a relationship with their members that is unique in the insurance market. We provide our clients with insight into the conventional insurance marketplace and use a consultative process to create an insurance program that is competitive in the marketplace while still sensitive to the financial obligations faced by members of a mutual insurance company.
";

As deregulation and restructuring continues in the power and utility industry, and concerns increase over global warming, emerging technologies are appearing more and more frequently. We work with clients and insurers to successfully address the risks inherent in this process.

Insurance Placement
";

We have excellent, long–standing relationships with all major domestic energy insurers including the key London and European–based insurers and reinsurers. Our global reach allows us to extensively market your insurance program so no matter how large or complex your risks, we can offer you the most competitive terms available in the marketplace. Unlike many of our competitors, we are free to access key geographic markets directly (such as Bermuda) instead of being forced to deal though an in-house intermediary as may be mandated by the larger broker firms. Middleman costs and ‘market-friendly’ biases are thereby eliminated, protecting both your interests and your bottom line.
";

As an independent retail broker, we have access to some of the most talented independent, foreign-domiciled firms, which gives you a distinct advantage when the placement of your coverage requires the use of an offshore wholesale broker. In contrast to the larger broker families where business is simply fed to their wholesale arms, the firms we engage must win your business based on superior expertise and services. Is there a quality difference? Just ask our clients.

Claims Advocacy
";
content = content + "
The true measure of a successful insurance program is its responsiveness to losses falling within the coverage it is intended to provide. Considering the fundamental importance of claims management services to a client, brokers have not traditionally been perceived as focusing their resources and talents on the pursuit of claims recoveries. Many brokers do not evaluate insurance markets based on their ability and willingness to pay claims fairly and promptly, confining their analysis to the markets’ capacity and pricing profile. The inevitable impact of this approach means that often insurance programs are not achieving the one goal they actually intended to provide – the transfer of risk and prompt payment of losses.
";
content = content + "
We take an alternative approach to claims advocacy, departing from the traditional role of the claims broker as a strictly reactive, administrative function, and instead provide you with creative, aggressive claims solutions. We are your staunchest advocate when dealing with claims adjusters, insurers and the experts they engage, to ensure you get the maximum return on your insurance dollar.

Directors and officers now serve at greater personal risk than at any time before.
