Do you have access to experienced claims management and contract reviews with your Business Risk Partner?

Contract reviews are crucial for risk management in the transport and logistics sector. Agreements with lessors, contractors, and labour hire companies often include onerous liability clauses that should be identified, assessed, and potentially negotiated out.

Claims management is where the true value of insurance becomes evident. We dedicate resources, management focus, and post-loss risk analysis to ensure claims are paid in full and processed efficiently. We also examine lessons from major incidents to help minimise recurrence and mitigate premium increases.

Our trusted advice also extends to developing strategic business continuity plans to minimise the impact of disruptions and keep operations running smoothly.
