Initial review and assessment identify any key areas of weakness, significant risk exposure and potential adverse impact. This may require an effective risk management approach to meet the requirements of the insured’s business operations.

 

In addition to a thorough assessment of the insured’s exposure to a variety of risks, CRM Brokers through its Corporate partners provides a comprehensive contracts review service to ensure the insurance policy adequately covers the risks identified in the risk assessment phase.

 

Risk assessments during site visits will be also be conducted. Where additional expertise is required, input will be sought from particular specialists to advise on any special procedures or areas of exposure.

 

Apart from the main insurance contracts, other contractual issues impacting on legal and commercial liabilities arising from contractor and sub-contractor arrangements, can also be examined.
