Clients

Our client base is broadly diversified by type, by size and by geography. We are leaders in many of the markets in which we operate, insuring in 2010:

• A third of the Am Law 200 list of the top law firms in the United States
• More than half of the top 50 US design firms as ranked by Engineering News-Record
• More than a third of the world’s top 200 oil and gas companies
• Two thirds of the top 25 global software and software services companies as ranked by Software Magazine
• Half of the UK’s jewellers’ block business
• A quarter of Healthgrades’ top hospitals in the US and 15% of US News & World Report’s best hospitals (2011 rankings). 

We began to establish a local presence in the US market in 2004 and since then have also built a strong business among smaller firms that would not traditionally have insured at Lloyd’s.  In 2010, Beazley’s local US underwriters wrote $393.6 million in gross premiums, principally for smaller clients.
