Lockton Specialty

Lockton Specialty is a globally connected team of insurance experts extensively covering a diverse range of product lines and industry sectors. By embracing client challenges as our own, we equip clients with an extensive range of bespoke risk solutions to help drive their business to be safer, smarter and more successful.

Lockton - Crisis Management

A crisis event has always carried a high level of severity, whether that be financial, mortal, operational or reputational. Recent global dynamics have seen a significant uptick in frequency of crisis events which has made organisations around the world take note of their own crisis management plans.

In light of all these factors, it’s clear that traditional insurance solutions do not provide the broad and responsive cover that businesses require.

The Lockton Crisis Management function comprises a team of market-leading insurance experts across Terrorism/Political Violence, Active Assailant, Product Recall, Reputational Risk and Special Crime (Kidnap and Ransom).

Lockton – Special Crime

The current global political, social and economic upheaval creates a unique security risk environment for our clients. The Special Crime team at Lockton works to support our clients with bespoke risk transfer and mitigation solutions across the spectrum of people-related security risks. We work directly with clients and in a wholesale capacity to provide special crime, emergency evacuation and crisis management response solutions. Sitting within Lockton’s Crisis Management function we work closely with the other teams to assess client’s risk from a holistic perspective.
