“We’re confident that in addition to being successful with the renewals, we will be able to grow the client base across new classes. The addition of this middle market team and portfolio is a definite enhancement to AmTrust’s presence in the private management liability space.”

DUAL Transaction Solutions president Dennis Kearns said: “DUAL has a strong relationship with AmTrust in multiple classes.

“This transaction will allow the middle market team to expand its appetite and products, and we feel this is an excellent fit for this group of management liability professionals.”
