Casualty

Overview

ACE GPS^SM provides clients doing business across international borders customised solutions for the broad range of risks they face, both at home and abroad. Our coordinated and transparent global approach provides customers with risk transfer and risk financing solutions which are both compliant and cost effective.

ACE's liability products offer clients protection against the threat of legal action in an increasingly litigious environment. ACE GPS^SM liability products provide public and product liability protection to companies operating in, or exporting to,countries and regions beyond their home borders.

Once a company begins to operate beyond its home country borders, the complexity increases significantly. ACE provides bespoke solutions to minimise this complexity for a wide range of companies, from pure exporters with limited international presence to large multinational enterprises with multiple subsidiaries and joint ventures across the world. ACE is widely recognised as one of the leading liability insurance underwriters worldwide.
