LMA hires Liberty Specialty exec

The Lloyd’s Market Association (LMA) has appointed Frances Shaw as technical executive of wordings.

She will report to Alison Colver, the LMA’s manager of wordings, and will support the drafting of LMA model wordings and work closely with the LMA’s Wordings Forum.

Shaw joins from Liberty Specialty Markets where she served as a wordings specialist. She has also worked for Brit during her 19 years in the London insurance market.

Colver said: “Wordings has been a particularly busy area of the LMA’s responsibilities in recent years; over the past 24 months the LMA has produced over 150 model wordings for use by Lloyd’s underwriters. That workload is only set to grow with the increase in consumer legislation and passing of the Insurance Act 2015.

“Frances understands and shares our commitment to the production of high quality, well drafted wordings to the Lloyd’s market and we are delighted to welcome her to the team.”
