Clients

Our client base is broadly diversified by type, by size and by geography. We are leaders in many of the markets in which we operate, insuring in early 2008:

• More than a third of the Am Law 200 list of the top law firms in the United States
• More than half of the top 50 US design firms as ranked by Engineering News-Record
• More than a third of the world’s top 200 oil and gas companies
• Half of the UK’s jewellers’ block business
• Four of the top 10 ‘Honor Roll’ US hospitals as listed by US News and World Report (2007 listing) and three of the top six pediatric hospitals

We began to establish a local presence in the US market in 2004 and since then have also built a strong business among smaller firms that would not traditionally have insured at Lloyd’s. In 2007, Beazley’s local US underwriters wrote $175 million in gross premiums, principally for smaller clients.
