Developers

Each new project, whether small or large, offers vast opportunities – and risks.

As development and construction experts we can help you reduce the overall risk on all of your projects. Our tailored offerings include risk evaluation and loss prevention.

Directors and Officers Liability

Directors and Officers Liability Insurance protects organizations, and their leaders, from a multitude of allegations as well as statutory liabilities and penalties resulting from their actions – and inactions – associated with the businesses they oversee. By obtaining the appropriate coverage, we can help you safeguard the future of your business as well as your leaders’ personal assets.

Employers Liability

This insurance protects you from any job-related injuries or illnesses that are not covered, or not adequately covered, under Workers’ Compensation or General Liability. Your employees are your most critical asset. We know you want to keep them safe, but accidents do happen. We can help you put this additional coverage in place so you, and your team, are protected from all angles.

Employment Practices Liability

From the moment you interview your first employee, you have employment related liabilities. Employment Practices Liability Insurance protects you from claims related to wage/hour disputes, discrimination, harassment or human rights actions, retaliation and unlawful termination. This insurance covers losses and pays for high defense costs (which can be thousands of dollars). As an industry leader in employment practices liability, we’ll review all of your employee related exposures and find the coverage you need.

Environmental Liability

There are more environmental sensitivities and regulations now than ever before. If there’s any possibility your business practices could contaminate the environment, then consider adding Environmental liability Insurance. This policy covers sudden or gradual pollution, cleanup costs, bodily injury as well as property damage. Once we’ve helped you assess your organization’s environmental impact, we’ll find the best protection possible.

Equipment Breakdown

If you experience any business equipment breakdown (computers, production machinery, construction equipment, HVAC systems and refrigeration equipment), Equipment Breakdown Insurance can cover business losses and the cost of expensive repairs. By providing you the proper insurance, we help your business avoid any loss of income and productivity.

Errors & Omissions

If, through your business, you give professional advice or provide a service, you most likely need Errors & Omissions Insurance. This insurance protects your company, and your employees, from any errors, omissions or misleading statements. We can help your company avoid any significant financial losses by obtaining the appropriate coverage that corresponds to your business.

Garage Auto Liability

Garage Auto Liability Insurance covers any injury or damage that occurs through your business operations arising from vehicles in your business’s care, custody or control. As insurance experts, we understand the unique nature of this insurance. We can find a garage auto liability policy that addresses your needs, at the right price.

General Liability

General Liability Insurance protects you against claims resulting from injuries and damage to people or property. If you own a business, drive a car or have a practice (law, medicine, dentistry), you should have a general liability policy. Considering the scope and depth of this type of insurance, our experience and knowledge can help you determine your overall coverage needs. And we’ll ensure you have the best protection, at the best price.

Kidnap & Ransom (K&R)

If you, or your employees, travel to countries where kidnapping is a prevalent risk, you should think about getting Kidnap & Ransom Insurance. We can help you set up this policy so you’re protected from any financial loss you may incur from kidnapping, extortion and ransom demands. Important tip: don’t tell anyone you have K & R Insurance as it raises your risk of being kidnapped and may void your policy.

Looking for a holistic solution for all of your protection needs outside the country? You need our International Advantage.

Political Risk

With trade wars, cyber-attacks and protest movements on the rise, we live in difficult political times. Political Risk Insurance protects your employees, income, assets and operations from dangerous political events. Some threats covered include: political violence, expropriation, currency inconvertibility and non-payment. Regardless of the size of your business, we can safeguard your business from political instability.

Umbrella & Excess

Many businesses are not adequately protected by the limits placed on their Commercial General Liability Insurance. Umbrella Insurance provides coverage beyond the limit of one or more liability policies. Excess Insurance, on the other hand, provides coverage on one underlying liability policy when it reaches its limit. Umbrella & Excess Insurance can be applied to your General Liability Insurance as well as Employer’s Liability Insurance and Commercial Auto Insurance. Let us help you understand the complexities of this insurance and find you the best coverage.

War & Terrorism

If you conduct business in countries with unstable political reputations, you should think seriously about adding War & Terrorism Insurance to your risk management plan. This insurance covers losses caused by civil unrest, invasion, insurrection, terrorist attacks, hijacking, illegal incarceration and political violence. Our team of experts can find you coverage to safeguard against these dangers and more.

Wrap-up Liability

Wrap-Up Insurance is a way to protect your projects and your workers. Think of it as a blanket policy that “wraps-up” or combines General Liability and Excess Liability. We can help you broaden your coverage to increase worker safety and, in the long term, lower costs. Normally, this program runs for the length of a project.

Their ability to rapidly handle some difficult problems has been impressive and we have greatly appreciated our working relationship with LIG.

Eric Waxman
Chief Investment Officer, Spark Power Corp

As our business began to grow from a start-up business, we found that our existing broker was no longer able to meet our needs. We performed a search that included larger regional brokers as well as national and international brokers. We settled on Lawrie Insurance Group (LIG), and have not regretted our choice. They are able to provide us with “large” brokerage experience and expertise as well as access to all the same insurance products, but we are always treated like their most important client.

Jim Long
President, Comtrad Strategic Sourcing Inc.

Comtrad has been working with the Lawrie team now for nearly 8 years for all of our insurance and benefits requirements. Their customer service has been excellent and prompt in providing solutions to our evolving and growing business.
