Age: 27

Phil Jarvis began his career in insurance in 2013 as an assistant underwriter for CLS, after graduating with a Bachelor of Laws degree. During his initial year at CLS, he developed a great understanding of the legal indemnity market. Jarvis also demonstrated a natural flair for underwriting the varying risks associated with property transactions. Combining the technical knowledge gained through his degree in law with his commercial acumen, he quickly developed into a highly skilled underwriter.

A key responsibility of Jarvis’s current role as senior underwriter is acting as a focal part of the underwriting team and the ‘go-to guy’ for complex matters from both his peers and clients, given his ability to create innovative and bespoke solutions. He is also responsible for overseeing and managing the fast-expanding team of underwriters, as well as leading on all UK and Europe Contingency products.

Jarvis has been instrumental in the leading and progressing of the Rights of Light product at CLS, which is now a multimillion-pound book of business every year. He is always keen on embracing new ideas and not afraid to take on a challenge, which has resulted in the creation of new products, such as dispute and contingency solutions, which allow CLS to focus on applying new methods.
