Empowering you to bring your designs to life.
Our Design practice consists of 650+ Architect and Engineering Firms and is part of our nationally recognized Design & Construction practice, serving the Construction, A&E and Surety industry.
We understand the difficult environment for design professionals. You’re juggling numerous large projects at once, a talent shortage, potential mergers and acquisitions, and the ebb and flow of disruption in the supply chain. Oswald empowers you with a high level of risk management for architects, engineers, and ancillary design service professionals.
Our experienced team can guide your professional liability insurance program, as well as provide the following services.
In-house Contract Review: We have a dedicated resource to review contracts for insurability issues.
Claim and Litigation Advocacy: We have an appointed claims advocate for design professionals who work closely with insurance companies, defense counsel, and clients to reach the best resolution for our client.
Coverage Expertise: Our risk management team reviews insurance policies to cover each client. We will review your professional liability limits and deductible, contractual coverage requirements, and the firm’s loss experience and risk appetite to design a program for all lines of coverage.
Risk Management and Loss Prevention Education: Our A&E Management team offer tailored risk management education programs and provide access to loss prevention training and resources. These presentations offer you professional education credits, and in some cases, premium reductions.
Navigating Mergers and Acquisitions: Whether a client is a buyer or a seller, we align the transaction goals with your insurance coverage.
