Zurich’s issue of Insights focuses on the challenges and trends in the construction industry.

In this issue we share views and ideas discussed at a Zurich workshop held in Paris for construction customers and industry experts.
Attention focused on a number of topical areas:

- Concern is growing over potential financial losses from inadequate professional indemnity cover. This highlights the importance of checking there are no gaps in your policies

- Contractual default and non-performance of critical subcontractors often expose main contractors and project owners to uninsured risks. You can read how different thinking in this area is shaping new types of protection

- During periods of economic uncertainty companies must ensure they are protected against contractor performance, especially as the volume and
frequency of claims rises. The workshop looked at various options

- We also welcomed a thought-provoking perspective on insurance and the law offered by Paul Reed, QC
