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.

Why CJ Coleman

Why CJ Coleman For Reinsurance?

Reinsurance placements can be technically complex and highly market sensitive. The way a risk, portfolio or programme is structured and presented can influence reinsurer appetite, available capacity, wording, terms and placement options.

CJ Coleman combines independent Lloyd’s market access with a personal, relationship-led approach. We work closely with clients and partners to understand the objective, assess the structure and identify suitable reinsurance routes.

As a family-owned, independent Lloyd’s broker, we are not built around volume-based transactions. We are built around specialist knowledge, long-standing market relationships and the ability to handle complex risk transfer requirements with care, clarity and technical focus.
