A new Liability Underwriters Group has been established by the International Underwriting Association (IUA).
The group will aim to promote knowledge and expertise in the liability sector.
Gerald Kittiyakara, senior casualty underwriter at Zurich Global Energy, is chairman of the group.
He said: “The group provides a valuable service enabling practitioners to meet and exchange views in a formal manner and conduct important research on pressing issues facing the market."
The Liability Underwriters Group has previously operated as an independent entity within the London market for a number of years.
It has now voted to become a full part of the IUA structure, which provides underwriting and claims committees for different classes of business across the company market.
