Claims management firm Cunningham Lindsey has opened an office in Tokyo, and appointed Yutaka Tada to lead and manage the firms’ operations in Japan.

Tada joins Cunningham Lindsey from Assicurazioni Generali, Japan. He has previously worked for Sompo Japan Insurance.

He has over 30 years of experience and expertise in claims at a senior level. His experience includes involvement in loss assignments throughout Japan and overseas. He has also been based for extended periods in the US and Singapore.

Damon Bennett, chief executive officer of Cunningham Lindsey Asia Pacific, said: “With Japan being the second largest commercial insurance market globally after the US, we are excited to be expanding our footprint in the region.

“Our Japan office reflects our ambition to be able to service our clients wherever they are located with local expertise, a deep understanding of their culture and in their own language.”

Bennett added: “I am delighted that Yutaka is joining us to lead our new operation in Japan. His reputation precedes him, particularly on major and complex matters across marine, property and specialist liability.

“We are committed to building a successful operation in Japan across all areas of our service capability including catastrophes, major and complex loss, forensic accounting, and TPA services.”
