EQT’s $2 billion McGill deal: what retail agents should expect from specialty brokers
EQT’s McGill agreement puts specialty expertise and technology in focus. What retail agents should ask of a wholesale partner on the next submission.
Breach, ransomware, wire fraud and regulatory defence — bound to the exact language customers and regulators require. Already appointed? Send us the account. New here? Apply for appointment below.
Cyber liability covers the first-party costs of recovering from a cyber event — incident response, forensics, ransomware, lost income — and the third-party liability when a customer's or employee's data is exposed. It's the line that now lives at the intersection of customer contracts, board expectations and regulator demands.
Customer contracts and investor diligence can ask for cyber limits or specific wording. We compare the request with the policy's limit, retention, definition and conditions before binding a programme.
Sensitive client data creates breach-response, notification and third-party liability questions. The right review starts with the data types, systems, record volume and client commitments, not only employee count.
Funds-transfer fraud and vendor impersonation can create material first-party loss. Cyber and crime forms can address them differently, so the social-engineering language and limits should be reviewed against the dollars moving through the firm.
AI-assisted output, connected products and operational technology can create liability questions that a generic policy may not address as intended. Review the services definition, exclusions and customer promises against the actual product.
Incident response, forensics, legal counsel, customer and regulator notification, credit monitoring and PR — the first-call costs that hit before any litigation does.
Extortion payments where insurable, system restoration and lost income while the business is offline — including operational technology (OT) shutdown on connected production systems.
Wire fraud, fake-vendor invoices and email compromise — sized to the dollars actually moving through the firm and bound with explicit social-engineering language (not a sub-limit).
Third-party claims from clients, customers and employees whose data was exposed — plus defence and fines (where insurable) for HHS, SEC, FINRA, state AGs and international regulators.
If a hack causes physical injury — including via connected products — that sits with GL or product liability, not cyber. We place the two so they line up.
Many cyber forms exclude state-sponsored attacks. The wording matters: a Russian ransomware crew can read either way. We push for affirmative non-state coverage on every renewal.
If a vendor patch sat unapplied for a year and the loss traces to that exact CVE, expect a fight. We flag what hygiene the carrier actually requires to keep cover in force.
Cyber and AI liability sized to clear enterprise procurement and grow with every round.

Suitable accounts move to an underwriter after a licensed broker reviews the match and final file. Carrier response and quote timing depend on the account and market.

The same client-fund wire-fraud event can produce a crime claim, a cyber claim and an E&O claim at once. Two real rulings show why the E&O answer isn't automatic.
