Our company hires and trains the best underwriters, actuaries and claims professionals in the industry. We are in the risk assumption business - just like our clients - so the work that we do on a daily basis is a valuable component of how we see and evaluate risk. We share this experience with our clients in various ways - via direct underwriter-to-underwriter dialogue, research, technical seminars, underwriting and claims roundtables and audits, to name a few.
