Company News
Willis Towers Watson has launched Digital Infrastructure Protector, an end-to-end solution for data centre owners, operators, contractors and hyperscalers. The product combines integrated insurance coverage for construction and operational phases with tailored risk management. The solution offers over $3 billion in capacity through collaboration with Zurich, allowing clients to consolidate building, operational property, marine and cargo exposures under a single policy. It employs an eight-point digital infrastructure risk framework to assess systemic and emerging risks as projects develop. Clients gain access to the Global Digital Infrastructure Group, led by Alastair Swift, which integrates experts from construction, energy, climate, cyber and supply chain sectors. The offering uses evidence-based broking and analytics to identify coverage gaps and prevent overinsurance.
Willis launches $50 million London umbrella facility for US buyers. James Sallada (pictured above), head of casualty for North America at Willis, said securing meaningful umbrella insurance coverage has become "increasingly difficult" for US buyers. The facility, he added, brings together "global capacity to provide organizations with access to higher limits, streamlined placement, and tailored solutions." Willis (a WTW business) has launched a new $50 million umbrella insurance facility called WELL (Willis Excess Liability Lineslip) to address the tightening capacity in the U.S. casualty market. The facility, announced on March 30, 2026, is designed to provide organizations with access to higher liability limits at a time when domestic insurers are pulling back capacity due to rising claim frequency and severity. Here is a breakdown of the key details of the new WELL facility: | Feature | Details | | Facility Name | Willis Excess Liability Lineslip (WELL) | | Total Capacity | Up to $50 million | | Structure | $25M lead umbrella + $25M first excess coverage | | Target Clients | Organizations seeking larger limits, including those with complex or challenging risk profiles | | Underwriting | Lloyd's syndicate consortium; single policy with one lead insurer | | Key Features | Single policy form, one lead claims coordinator, built-in enhancements (disaster response, evacuation, joint venture protection) | | Policy Types | Claims-made, occurrence, or occurrence-reported basis | Why this launch matters. The launch of the WELL facility is a direct response to current market conditions. The U.S. casualty market is experiencing a hardening phase where traditional domestic insurers are limiting the amount of umbrella coverage they are willing to provide. By leveraging the capacity of the London market and a consortium of Lloyd's syndicates, Willis aims to offer a streamlined solution for clients who need to secure protection against catastrophic liability claims that exceed their primary insurance limits. Who it's for and how to access it. The WELL facility is available exclusively to Willis clients and is intended for a broad range of industries that are placing complex casualty risks. It is specifically tailored for organizations that require larger lead umbrella limits than are typically available in the traditional retail market, including businesses that may have been finding it difficult to secure appetite from domestic insurers. The facility simplifies the process for clients by offering a single policy form covering the full $50 million limit, with one lead underwriter coordinating claims across all participating markets. This structure is designed to provide a more efficient and streamlined placement process compared to traditional methods of stacking multiple excess policies. I hope this summary is helpful. Are you interested in a more detailed comparison of how this facility differs from traditional umbrella insurance structures?
