Early success for new contender in legal indemnity market
December 2006
The newest company to enter the legal indemnity market has today announced a positive start to business after nine weeks of trading.
Isis Conveyancing Insurance Specialists, which specialises in underwriting complex title risks, has seen a steady rise in enquiries across a broad range of covers since its launch in October.
The Isis underwriting team includes six senior underwriters who have amassed a considerable amount of experience and expertise in the industry, and an in-depth knowledge of underwriting legal indemnity business.
Mark Dennis, Business Development Director for Isis, said, “We’ve been extremely encouraged by the amount of interest shown in this new venture. It supports our belief that there is an opportunity in the market for a company like Isis, which allows solicitors to speak directly to an experienced underwriter about cases that perhaps don’t fit within the usual boundaries of a typical legal indemnity risk.
“While one of our aims is to focus on solicitors who deal with larger, more intricate risks that may require careful underwriting and bespoke policies, we have also handled a significant number of the more popular standard types of legal indemnities,” he added.
The launch of the company is being supported by extensive advertising in key trade media, and targeted direct mail campaigns.
