AmTrust International strengthens its Australian market presence with the launch of its Australian branch insurance company

AmTrust International, a global specialty insurance company and subsidiary of AmTrust Financial Services, Inc., today announced the launch of its APRA-licensed entity ‘AmTrust Specialty Limited’ in Australia.

This milestone marks a significant step in AmTrust’s long-term strategy for Australia. AmTrust International is seeing consistent demand for Legal Expenses coverage. Establishing a licensed presence allows companies to expand, compete effectively, and support long-term business growth in the country.

“Our entry into the Australian market for Legal Expenses Insurance is an important milestone for AmTrust,” said Bruce Whitmee, Chief Executive Officer, AmTrust Specialty Limited. “With a highly skilled underwriting team, and clear demand from intermediaries, funders and legal professionals, we are very well positioned to grow. This expansion reflects our long-term commitment to Australia and our ambition to build a sustainable presence that brings AmTrust’s global strength and expertise closer to our customers.”

AmTrust International’s After the Event (ATE) and Before the Event (BTE) offerings support individuals and businesses who may be prevented from pursuing or defending legal action due to financial risks. This suite of products will be distributed through insurance intermediaries, litigation funders and attorneys.

“We are excited to continue growing our legal fees product offering,” said Simon Warr, Underwriter, Legal Fees at AmTrust International. “Australia’s mature legal landscape makes the country a strong market for ATE and we see a huge opportunity to further develop our presence in this area. The BTE market, although underdeveloped and underserved, presents clear potential for partnership-based schemes.”

Chiara Stoehrmann, Underwriter, Legal Expenses at AmTrust International, said: “This underlines our commitment to the legal fees market in Australia and to expanding access to justice. With significant capital now established domestically, in line with APRA requirements, we are well positioned to support long-term and sustainable growth in this area.”
