Contractual Risk Management
Contracts often define the liabilities and exposures that our policy holders assume in their business. With guidance from Towerstone’s contractual risk management team, our insureds are better equipped to understand complex contract language and minimize the overall risk to their business. Our contractual risk advisors are well-versed in contractual risk transfer methods as well as restrictions that may apply within certain industries and regions. Towerstone’s review of contracts is always specifically focused on the potential impact to the client’s insurance program.
