Lockton – Entertainment Practice
The events industry can generate huge amounts of revenue and involve vast capital investments, all while being enjoyed by large numbers of people.
With a unique set of logistical risks, a high degree of unpredictability and numerous external factors – our clients look for a partner who expertly understands this risk profile and can safeguard them against financial losses, reputational damage and unexpected challenges.
Within Lockton Specialty, the Lockton Entertainment Practice provides access to a specialist team who are at the forefront of market-leading contingency insurance and risk management solutions.
For clients in sports, music, entertainment and corporate events, we act as the dedicated contingency risk partner to help offer a bespoke Contingency Insurance program that anticipates, protects and manages client risks and circumstances that could derail their event.
Our Contingency cover spans across event cancellation; conference and exhibition cancellation; non-appearance; weather risks; prize indemnity; contractual bonus; death, disablement and disgrace; and booking refund cover.
