International Expansion

Coordinated programs across AU, US, UK, EU and APAC.

Overview

How we advise

Whether you're opening a US Delaware Inc., expanding into the EU under the AI Act, hiring across APAC, or running a fully global GTM, we coordinate locally admitted cover, master programs and cross-border claims management so your risk transfer doesn't quietly fall apart at the border.

Our international practice is led by brokers who have placed complex programs for clients at every stage — and who hold relationships with the underwriters who can price the risk correctly.

Core coverages

What we typically broker for international clients.

  • Master & Locally Admitted Programs
  • International D&O & Cyber
  • Global Product & Public Liability
  • Employer's Liability / Workers' Comp (multi-jurisdiction)
  • Foreign Voluntary Workers' Compensation
  • Sanctions, Trade Credit & Political Risk
Key exposures

Risks the market gets wrong.

01

Non-admitted & tax

Writing risks non-admitted into the wrong jurisdiction triggers tax exposure, regulator action and unenforceable claims.

02

Cross-border data & AI

GDPR, US state privacy laws, EU AI Act and APRA CPS 230 create overlapping breach and disclosure obligations.

03

Local employment exposure

PEO and EOR arrangements create unclear employer status — EPL, WC and statutory cover often falls between the cracks.

Other specialties

Startups & Scaleups

We design programs that match where you are now and where the cap table says you're going. No oversold cover, no last-minute scrambles before a raise.

Technology & AI

Standard tech wordings weren't written for foundation models, agentic systems or platform-level dependency. Ours are.

Smart Manufacturing

Industry 4.0 has rewritten the risk profile of manufacturing. We broker programs that reflect connected operations, not just bricks and machinery.
