Broking Placement Overview

WTW’s Broking teams deliver superior results for our clients’ business and risk management needs through deep industry specific expertise. The role of a broker is to help our clients mitigate their total cost of risk. The brokerage team operates as the firm’s intellectual capital where we work with our clients to assess, model, and structure risk. Once modeled, the broker personally escorts the clients’ risk into the market and draws upon their market relationships and their negotiation skills to secure quotations from the insurance carriers. While the nature of the work is similar day-to-day, no two placements are the same and common tasks may include: preparing and sending out submissions, liaising with markets, analyzing exposures, working through risk models, and negotiating quotations.
