Ink joins with St Giles to launch solicitors PI offering

Clients will have access to a risk management service, including risk reviews, specialist Lexcel level reviews, and an in house claims handling service.

Mike Smith (pictured), MD of Ink, commented: “We are delighted to have collaborated with St Giles, and to have been able to create a timely solution for solicitors who we know are finding this year’s insurance renewal season very challenging. Both we and St Giles have significant knowledge and expertise in this marketplace, and a good understanding of the issues.”

Malcolm Gordon, MD of St Giles Legal and Professional Risks and a solicitor himself, said: “We have produced with Ink a creative facility, backed by solid re-insurance. We will run this with a team that includes people who themselves were once solicitors in private practice. A pro-active claims service is a key part of our offering.”

The policy is issued by Alpha Insurance A/S, a Danish Insurance company based in Copenhagen. Cover will be underwritten by re- insurer Greenlight Re, a specialist casualty re-insurance company.

Facilities are being released to supporting Ink and Westinsure brokers who will receive details of how to obtain a quote over the next week.
