Sura has added to its list of branded underwriting agencies with the introduction of liability business Sura Specialty, formerly Lawsons Underwriting Australasia.

Sura Specialty MD Kevin Corkery says the agency’s products are designed to meet “hard-to-place” liability risks in diverse sectors such as rail, mining, chemical manufacture, importers and distributors, and property owners.

He says brokers can expect no change to Lawsons’ focused approach to complex liability risks, paired with additional service depth and new business opportunities.

Sura’s underwriting agencies also include Sura Hospitality, Sura Professional Risks, Sura Labour Hire, Sura Engineering, Sura Construction, Sura Film and Entertainment, Sura Marine, and Sura Plant and Equipment.
