Zurich revamps its Difficult Risk offering to aid brokers

Zurich Commercial has announced the relaunch of its Zurich Difficult Risks (ZDR) division to provide brokers with the capability to underwrite a range of specialist or complex risks.

ZDR was originally launched to help brokers place professional liability and employer's liability business at a time when market conditions were difficult. However, the insurer said it revisited the proposition when demand for this type of facility gradually reduced.
