With over 25 years working in the insurance
industry, Peter has gained a broad range of
experience. He has worked as broker and
underwriter and handled various classes of
business. His main expertise lies with
construction and engineering, as well as
professional risks insurance.
Peter has handled claims from a variety of
classes, UK and international, many as
direct lead, ranging from small value
“attritional” losses to highly complex large
value claims involving multi-jurisdictional
litigation. He has helped establish market
claims handling procedures for major
projects, such the Channel Tunnel and for
large binders and covers.
Peter was claims manager of all classes,
direct and reinsurance, for the UK branch
office of a major Australian insurance
company before joining Equitas to
concentrate on large value (non-US) casualty
claims. This involved directing and managing
legal teams and professional advisers,
strategy planning, face to face negotiations
with opponents and participating in
mediations, in the UK and overseas, and
developing novel approaches to dispute
resolution.
More recently, Peter has worked on a
freelance/consultancy basis conducting
audits of underwriting agents, Lloyd’s
syndicates, third party administrators and
loss adjusters.
