Global specialty (re)insurer Brit Ltd has partnered exclusively with Schillings Critical Risk to create a comprehensive kidnap for ransom offering.
Schillings Critical Risk, which is part of international issues and crisis law firm Schillings, is led by Schillings partner John Chase whose more than two decades of experience centres on kidnap for ransom, extortion, illegal detention, blackmail, hijacking, and cyberattacks.
Meanwhile Brit’s kidnap for ransom team is headed by class underwriter Stephen Quinton, who came onboard in September.
“We are pleased to announce this partnership with Schillings Critical Risk,” commented Brit chief executive Matthew Wilson. “At Brit, we are always looking for new ways to both enhance the solutions we are able to offer our clients and evolve our capabilities in response to changing risks.
“This partnership is a strong example of this focus, combining Brit’s and Schillings’ respective expertise to give clients a comprehensive crisis management offering in one place.”
Rod Christie-Miller, CEO and partner at Schillings, noted that crises now happen more frequently and with more long-term repercussions.
“With over 35 years’ experience as an international issues and crisis law firm, this joint partnership will ensure that we continue to protect clients from the reputation, privacy, and security threats of today, as well as the issues and crises of tomorrow,” he said.
