Pioneer Underwriters has reaffirmed its commitment to the North American professional liability market ahead of next year’s renewals. The business, led by Patrick Comerford, remains a core part of Pioneer’s underwriting operations, Pioneer said.

“Pioneer has outstanding reputation in the North American professional liability class,” said Pioneer CEO Andrew McMellin. “With a profitable book of business and an excellent underwriting team, we will continue to invest and further strengthen this part of our business in 2019.”

“Our focus on creating tailored, client-centric products that suit today’s professional market has driven profitable growth of our portfolio,” Comerford said. “We are looking forward to next year’s renewals and to an exciting year for both the whole Pioneer business and this class.”
