Why independent matters
A broker on your side of the table.
The biggest brokers answer to shareholders. We answer to clients. That changes how we work — and what we'll go to bat for.
Why BirchinTruly independent
No external shareholders, no networks, no underwriting agency conflicts. Our only job is to get the right outcome for you.
Senior, named team
You speak directly to the broker placing your risk. Same names at renewal, at notification, and every call in between.
Tailored, not templated
We don't do one-size-fits-all schemes. Every presentation is built around your firm, your work and your story.
Whole-of-market
Lloyd's syndicates, London market insurers and international capacity — we go wherever the right cover sits.
Sectors
The professions we know best.
We place Professional Indemnity across the UK's regulated and professional sectors — the firms whose work carries real liability.
Services
More than placing a policy.
Insurance is only useful when it works. We're here for the whole life of the cover — not just the bind date.
Cover review & renewal
A proper review of your current programme — wording, limits, excesses — and a presentation that earns better terms.
Claims management
A senior broker on hand from first notification through to resolution. No queues, no scripts.
Run-off planning
Practical advice on retirement, mergers and closure — structuring run-off cover that protects you for the long term.
Risk presentation
We help you tell your story to underwriters: turnover, work split, controls — the things that move premium.
How it works
Three steps. No surprises.
Tell us about your firm
A short call, a few documents. We learn your work, your people and what's changed since last renewal.
We go to market
We build the presentation and approach the insurers most likely to want your risk — Lloyd's, London, and beyond.
You get tailored cover
We walk you through the options, negotiate the wording, and bind cover that actually fits.
