Brokers can now procure up to $35 million in coverage on behalf of qualified and eligible A&E clients with more than $10 million in annual revenue, including project-specific risks. Schinnerer has added an additional $15 million in capacity from Aspen Insurance to its existing $20 million program to meet the needs of large A&E firms in the US.
Architects and engineers have been seeking higher limits to address general market contraction and price adjustments in the sector,” said Brian Hanuschak, President of Victor North America. “We are pleased to welcome Aspen Insurance to our A&E professional liability program, which we established more than 60 years ago. By working with CNA, and now Aspen, Schinnerer can provide the additional capacity needed for large firms.”
Aspen will provide admitted and non-admitted capacity.
Schinnerer’s current large account A&E professional liability program serves design and construction firms with $5 million or more in revenue and continues to be written and issued on an admitted basis through A-rated CNA Insurance Companies.
