“Considering the current economic environment, the importance of managing the value creation opportunity afforded by IP and the downside risk mitigation of IP has never been higher, and the timing of Aon’s IP MGA could not be better for our clients.”

Earlier in 2018, the company announced the development of an insurance facility providing $100m of capacity for IP infringement liability exposures, backed by leading Lloyd’s syndicates and led by Tokio Marine Kiln (TMK).

The new development will be spearheaded by Ian Lewis who led the efforts for TMK previously. The underwriting team lead by Lewis has created a portfolio of risk transfer solutions for IP and other intangible asset risks to be offered by this Managing General Agent (MGA), the company said.
