A Strategic, Multi-Line Approach to Complex Risk

View All Case Studies

February 3, 2026

When intricate risk exposures demand more than a one-size-fits-all solution, collaboration becomes the cornerstone of success. This case highlights how Berkley Canada’s underwriting units worked in unison to deliver a tailored, multi-line insurance program for a client operating in one of the most challenging sectors: technical services for the energy industry.

 

The Challenge

Our client faced complex operational exposures inherent to providing technical services in the energy sector. These risks spanned contractual obligations, environmental liabilities, and operational errors—creating gaps that traditional coverage could not fully address. The stakes were high: any oversight could lead to significant financial and reputational consequences.

 

The Solution

Recognizing the need for a strategic, integrated approach, Berkley Canada brought together expertise across multiple underwriting units. The result was a customized program that bridged coverage gaps and delivered comprehensive protection:

  • Contractor’s Errors and Omissions
  • Contractors Pollution Liability
  • Total Premium: $115,000

This multi-line solution ensured that both operational and environmental exposures were addressed under a unified framework.

 

Key Benefits

  • Unified Protection: A seamless program that safeguarded against diverse risks—from contractual errors to pollution liabilities.
  • Collaborative Expertise: Coordination across underwriting units provided a smooth client experience and a single point of accountability.
  • Demonstrated Strength: Showcased Berkley Canada’s ability to act as a true multi-line provider, delivering tailored solutions for complex accounts.
