We cover companies and individuals against all forms of extortion and can protect your assets from illegal demands and the consequential associated expenses.
Who is it for?
Our clients include multinational companies operating in high risk regions of the world, key executives working in commercially sensitive positions and individuals whose wealth or fame may attract the attention of criminals.
Cover
Standard insurance protection against:
- Kidnap, hijack and bodily injury.
- Threats to kill, injure or abduct or to damage property or products.
- Extortion – including threats to kill, injure or abduct or to damage property or products.
- Malicious detention.
- As well as insurance protection, we offer advice and assistance to protect the well-being of our clients. Part of this protection is exclusive access to the services of The Control Risks Group ( www.control-risks.com). Control Risks are the leading independent security consultants in this field. Their primary role is to help clients achieve the quickest and safest possible release of the victim. They also offer risk management and post-loss consultancy.
Our policies are, however, highly bespoke and can be significantly broadened to suit individual needs and circumstances.
