Newly-launched managing general agency Verve Risk Partners plans to
target U.S. professional and management liability risks, focusing on
insurance companies and captives as well as insurance agents and
brokers.
The London-based MGA has been launched by Castel Underwriting
Agencies Limited, a member of the Barbican Insurance Group of companies.
According to the announcement, Verve’s portfolio will include errors
and omissions (E&O) and directors and officers (D&O) coverage
for rated and non-rated public, private, mutual and captive insurance
companies and risk retention groups, public and private insurance
brokers and agents, managing general agents and managing general
underwriters, third party administrators and program and captive
managers.
The new underwriting facility has capacity provided by a number of
Lloyd’s syndicates that have previously supported Verve’s underwriters.
Verve is being led by Scott Simmons and Alan Lambert, who are both partners in the business.
Simmons has 16 years’ experience underwriting U.S. management and
professional liability lines. He is a former North American financial
lines underwriter with AIG where he underwrote and serviced a portfolio
of public and private clients for commercial and financial institutions.
In 2012, he established and led a U.S. professional and management
liability unit with Aquila Underwriting.
Lambert has worked in the London market for 15 years specializing in
U.S. professional, financial and management liability insurance. He
began his career as a broker servicing open market placements and
delegated binding authorities with both London and U.S- based carriers.
He was previously in Aquila’s professional and management liability
unit, focusing on risk analysis, underwriting and client development.
