The litigation and contingent risk insurance market is focusing less on single-case judgment preservation insurance and adverse judgment insurance risks and more on portfolio-based policies that better spread risk across multiple different cases.

As such, Stephen Kyriacou focuses on deepening his connections with the primary buyers of such policies — namely, litigation funders and plaintiff-side contingency fee law firms.

A risk manager for a private equity firm whose portfolio company won a large judgment that was insured by Kyriacou and his team noted that Kyriacou delivered an innovative, one-of-a-kind solution for the portfolio company to manage a unique litigation risk.

“The solution has generated meaningful value creation for our portfolio company,” the client said.

This client expects its broker partners to understand all facets of the business and the specific needs of each of its portfolio companies.

“Stephen, being a senior lawyer and part of the Aon M&A team, has a distinctive background in providing transaction solutions to clients in our space,” the client said. “On our solution, in particular, he negotiated with over 30 insurers to syndicate capital for over 50 layers of a complex insurance placement. His knowledge of the industry market is very strong, and we would not have achieved the result that we did without his involvement and leadership.”
