The greyling difference
At Greyling, we believe our approach to specialization delivers measurably better results – lower premiums, better coverage, more insightful risk management advice – that improve your bottom line. We are different because we:
- Collect and use comparative data where possible to help you make informed decisions
- Employ a diverse team of experienced people with both insurance and design industry background
- Develop and follow effective procedures that enable us to provide excellent day-to-day service
- Act as a trusted business partner that can help make your business more successful
Data-Driven Decisions
Greyling maintains a single national database of insurance and risk-related metrics for design and law firms. Given our market share and access to data through other sources, our information is second to none. We can tell you how your coverage, policy limits, deductible and premium match up to comparable data. And having implemented many risk management surveys over the years, we have data on a wide range of risk behaviors as well. Most major purchases are now made with comparative data – insurance and risk should not be any different.

Experience
Great data is one thing, having people who understand it is another. Our team includes former general counsels and former defense counsel, professional engineers, former design firm principals, former brownfield developers, interior designers, former underwriters, LEED Green Associates, people that have worked in the London insurance market, and more. Given our national client base and years of experience, from airports to super-tall buildings to condos and from Brazil to China to Qatar to Kenya, we’ve seen, dealt with and solved the problems your firm may face.

Matching Coverage to Exposure
We know your lingo and we often know your clients. When an insured lets us know they are pursuing a big airport project, we know to ask: Will you be working airside? If yes, we know you’ll likely need more policy limit and can provide a cost to include in your proposal.

PROCESS
There are many tasks we handle for clients that require an effective process – reporting claims, reviewing contracts, handling mid-term exposure changes, dealing with mergers or acquisitions and more. And of course managing the renewal of insurance policies. We manage this critical process aggressively by starting early, having a focused discussion on strategy, agreeing to a timeline, and finishing early enabling renewal certificates of insurance to be sent early.
