About
We are excited to announce a very special event that we’ve created, especially for London Market Practitioners.
Claims is always at the sharp end, when it comes to customer service and determination of coverage and this latest crisis has introduced some real stresses on the claims function in most commercial and wholesale (re) insurance firms. With complex BI and associated claims coming through from clients across the world, the Market is facing a number of challenges, ranging from the determination of policy liability and quantum to the evolving business environment where employees and trading partners find themselves working remotely.
Being an international marketplace, we also have the added complexity of differing opinions amongst those jurisdictions and authorities. We are only at the start of the journey but already it’s clear that we have some challenges ahead, both in the primary, as well as the reinsurance marketplace, when it comes to claims
ROUNDTABLE WILL DISCUSS AND DEBATE
- The type, scale and complexity of the claims the Market is seeing
- Coverage complications and the current litigation overview here in the UK and USA, including attitudes of different jurisdictions
- How we’ve adapted to new and different ways of assessing/adjusting claims in a world where travel can be complex
- How the pandemic is affecting our current working environment and the future claims operational landscape, including a discussion around technology resilience
- The reinsurance market’s response and claims implications

Every year, LMForums has brought thousands of insurance professionals together in the UK to discuss, debate and collaborate on topics of mutual interest in the community.
