Key solutions
International reach matters. So does direct access to people who understand the risk. PWS combines specialist market knowledge with senior attention, technical discipline and the agility to respond quickly when clients need us.
We focus on understanding the exposure before recommending the solution. Our specialists bring insurance, reinsurance and claims knowledge to complex risk decisions.
We work across regional and international insurance and reinsurance markets to identify suitable capacity and structures.
Clients have direct access to experienced professionals who remain involved throughout placement, renewal and claims.
Our role does not end when cover is placed. We support clients with claims preparation, market engagement and settlement advocacy.
As a specialist company, we can move quickly, communicate directly and adapt to complex or unusual requirements.
The PWS story began in London in 1964 with Pearson, Webb and Springbett, established as a specialist reinsurance broker with a focus on complex international risks. The company name was later shortened to PWS during the 1980s. Over the decades, that specialist heritage expanded across Asia-Pacific — Singapore in 1997, Labuan and Indonesia in 2011, Australia in 2020 and New Zealand in 2023.
Regional Knowledge. International Connectivity.
PWS Global Risks connects clients across Asia-Pacific and beyond with regional expertise and access to international insurance and reinsurance markets. Our growing presence across key markets enables us to support clients with a consistent, connected approach to complex risks across borders.

PWS connects clients in Asia-Pacific and beyond with appropriate insurance and reinsurance capacity across regional and international markets. Our role is not simply to approach markets, but to understand which markets are relevant to the exposure, how the risk should be presented and how placement strategy can be structured to support the client’s objectives.
For clients operating across multiple territories, PWS can coordinate regional insurance and reinsurance requirements through a single relationship.
Depending on the assignment, this may include programme coordination, local policy requirements, regional placements, renewals, claims, reporting and liaison with market partners.
This approach is designed to give clients greater consistency, visibility and accountability across borders.
The value of insurance is tested when a loss occurs. PWS remains engaged beyond placement, helping clients prepare claims, organise supporting information, engage with insurers and reinsurers, and progress matters towards resolution.
Our role is to help clients present their position clearly, understand the process and maintain momentum through what can otherwise become a complex and time-consuming experience.
