Reinsurance
Reinsurance
As a specialist reinsurance broker, CJ Coleman works with insurers, MGAs, captives, brokers and insurance partners on complex reinsurance placements that require technical understanding, market access and a clear route to capacity.
As an independent Lloyd’s reinsurance broker, we help clients and partners shape reinsurance requirements, present risks or portfolios clearly, and approach suitable Lloyd’s of London or Company Market routes where appetite and capacity are available.
Our reinsurance work often includes traditional reinsurance, parametric deals, captive reinsurance, MGA solutions and tailored risk transfer structures. As such, we are ideally suited to specialist, non-standard requirements.

Specialist Market Access
Navigating exclusive markets to secure tailored coverage for complex and non-standard reinsurance placements.
When
Specialist Support For Reinsurance
Our specialist reinsurance brokers can help insurers, MGAs, captives and insurance partners manage exposure, access capacity, reduce volatility, support growth and transfer risk more effectively. These placements often need more than a standard market approach. The quality of the data, the structure of the programme, the clarity of the presentation and the strength of market relationships can all influence available capacity, terms and placement options.
CJ Coleman’s reinsurance team works with clients and partners across traditional reinsurance, parametric deals, treaty reinsurance, and reinsurance of captives; all with access to Lloyd’s of London Market and Company markets.
For complex portfolios, specialist risks or non-standard placement requirements, we bring technical understanding, careful market presentation and a relationship-led approach to the process.
