Surety
Lockton's leadership in Surety is based on unparalleled experience and expertise,
coupled with advanced, proprietary software and a unique ability to solidify
relationships and trust among the parties involved in the bonding process.
We have forged strong partnerships with leading insurance/surety companies.
Our in-depth knowledge of bonding provides us with the ability to meet your
demands and important time constraints.
Lockton's capabilities range from bonding of very large-scale public or private
construction projects to one-time performance agreements dictated by statute or
legal judgment.
The Lockton surety team members are dedicated to their client assignments.
We are able to handle your most involved and specialized bond needs and we are
structured to deliver superior service, even if many bonds are spread between
contract and commercial, national and international.
We start by meeting with you for an extensive orientation and planning session,
where we listen to your needs and review your current handling procedures.
We then take what we've learned, and develop a plan which provides for more
effective, streamlined solutions centered on your needs and specific service demands.
A typical Lockton account is a multi-faceted business with multiple
operating entities, at times located both nationally and internationally.
We perform many services, including data management, depending on the individual
requirements of each account.
Your company will benefit from our expert advice in:
- Developing and implementing a tailored service plan
- Outsourcing bond-related risk management functions
- Implementing necessary control procedures
- Setting up customized billing and reporting systems
