He designs innovative insurance structures for companies participating in the mining and energy, infrastructure, construction and financial services industries and also advises on the insurance and risk management issues associated with corporate governance compliance.

By virtue of his insurance product knowledge he brings to clients a thorough understanding of insurance claims response and practice and is retained by many high profile industry clients to represent them on their claims. Working in conjunction with Allegiant IRS, Brad applies his in-depth understanding of the clients’ business, insurance and risk profiles to ensure the most appropriate and flexible insurance programs are placed.
