Technical Experience
LAR is supported by a team with broad experience across broking, administration, finance and claims.
Our team brings together knowledge from a range of disciplines, including insurance, law, loss adjusting, architecture and engineering. This helps us understand the risks presented by our clients and communicate each opportunity clearly and effectively to markets.
We Speak Your Language
Our team works closely with producers and clients in their own language, helping to ensure clear and accurate communication throughout the placement process. Where necessary, we also support the preparation and translation of information required by underwriters.
Continuity of Service
Each account has designated contacts and wider team support, helping us maintain continuity of service when one of our executives is unavailable.
Independence
We are an independent reinsurance broker based in the City of London, working with clients, producers and markets internationally.
Our experience ranges from small and medium-sized enterprises to large corporations and state institutions, allowing us to adapt our placement approach to the characteristics and requirements of each risk.
Our independence allows us to seek appropriate solutions for each client and develop long-term relationships with our business partners.
Strategic Relationships
We maintain long-standing relationships with brokers, producers and international markets that complement our own capabilities and broaden the options available to our clients.
We also have exclusive arrangements with certain markets, giving us access to specialist capacity and solutions for particular risks.
We work closely with our partners to identify the most appropriate placement strategy, seeking to avoid conflicts and add value for all parties involved.
These relationships combine local knowledge, access to the London Market and technical experience to deliver efficient and competitive solutions.
Service above All
We are committed to providing a high level of service to both our clients and markets. We aim to present complete, clear and transparent information from the outset, helping underwriters assess each risk efficiently.
Long-Term Relationships
Our objective is to build sustainable, long-term business relationships. We maintain regular dialogue with our producers and markets to understand their needs and develop opportunities that add value for all parties.
