Brokers working with solicitors’ firms know that a softening PI market brings both opportunities and challenges. Pricing is changing, appetite is evolving and placements are becoming more varied. However, one constant remains: firms still need trustworthy coverage.
With this in mind, we are delighted to announce our new Solicitors Excess Layers Professional Indemnity product, backed by A rated capacity from Great American.
A Facility Built for Flexibility
Solicitors’ PI has always demanded discipline, but excess layers have increasingly become a space where brokers need more options, more responsiveness and more tailored support.
That is why we designed a product built around flexibility, serving firms with up to EUR 10m in fee income, offering indemnity limits up to EUR 5m with attachments starting at EUR 1.5m.
Terry Dunne, Senior PI Underwriter at iSure, said, “With this new facility, we continue to expand and diversify our portfolio and give brokers more choice and certainty that they’ll be able to meet the needs of their solicitor clients in a softening market.”
Built to meet the realities of the market, not the assumptions of a model, Terry goes on to explain that the strength of the product is not only in its structure but also in the way it is delivered. He said, “The facility is differentiated in terms of its broad appetite, secure capacity, tailored wordings and a service driven ethos.”
Underwriting That Keeps You Moving
One of the most common frustrations we hear from brokers is that placing excess layers can feel unnecessarily slow, especially when the underlying information is already sitting in a primary proposal form.
So we have removed the barriers.
We will underwrite directly from the primary market's proposal form or renewal declaration, supported by per-million pricing, making it quicker and easier to build the right excess solution for firms of different sizes and risk profiles.
At the centre of this sits iSure's underwriting approach, led by experience. Terry’s philosophy is simple: quick decisions, straight answers and technical clarity. He says, “All things brokers have grown to expect from iSure as we seek to grow market share as an established and trusted name in the Irish commercial insurance market.”
Tailored for Real World Risks
Every part of this facility is designed to give brokers more room to manoeuvre, not just in terms of limit and attachment, but in how the product adapts to each firm.
Our custom excess layer policy wording is specifically designed for solicitors’ practices, taking into account the nuances of their work and the risks they encounter. Add that to the competitive commission structures and a service model built around fast turnarounds, and the result is a product shaped with brokers in mind from start to finish.
If you are ready for a faster, more responsive way to handle excess layers, our team is here to help you place your next risk. Talk to us today about how we can help you shape a cleaner, quicker and more dependable excess layer solution.
