Australia-UK Insurance Dialogue: Cross-Border Risk & Opportunity
1st July 2025
We were proud to host the Australia-UK Insurance Dialogue: Cross-Border Risk & Opportunity reception at Australia House, in partnership with Law Squared and Tetra Claims.
The evening brought together professionals from across the insurance and legal sectors to explore the growing opportunities and challenges of cross-border insurance. Discussions focused on underwriting Australian risk in London, managing transnational claims, and the future of collaboration between the UK and Australia in a fast-evolving regulatory landscape.
Our speakers - the Hon. Stephen Smith, Australian High Commissioner to the UK; Tim Dillon, Agent General to the UK, Commissioner to Europe and Israel at State Government of Victoria; Chris MacKinnon, Regional Director, APAC & EMEA, Lloyd’s of London; Sean Hayes, Head of Tetra Claims; and Chris Coomans, Head of Natural Resources, Howden Surety - shared valuable insights from both sides of the globe.
We were also pleased to be joined by Rachael Davidson, Advisory Board Member at Law Squared, who moderated the discussion with warmth and clarity.
