At Conestoga Partners, we offer expert advice and guidance in the establishment of specialist insurance vehicles, such as Captives, MGAs and other risk retention structures (SPVs, ILS, etc). Working directly or in co-operation with other independent partners, we assist corporate and commercial clients to find the most cost effective and time efficient solutions to their insurance requirements.  In the captive sector, we are constrained by neither geography nor service provider when advising clients on the best location to set-up, whom they should contract with or what broker / insurer they should partner with.

We have in-depth knowledge of the London and international insurance markets and are able to advise MGAs and brokers on capacity and fronting solutions.

Our senior Director has more than 25 years of experience in the insurance industry covering numerous aspects of the sector including insurance broking, captive management, ILS and risk management. He has direct experience as a Lloyds of London broker, a captive manager, a risk manager and as a founder of a global MGA.

As a subject matter expert in the captive space, he has advised numerous clients such as insurance brokers, Lloyds syndicates, MGAs and insurers on the structuring, establishment and operations of various offshore risk retention vehicles, including captives, cell companies, side-cars, ILS structures and other capital efficient vehicles.

Our approach is global in scope and we have extensive knowledge of, and experience in, the setting up of vehicles in Bermuda, the Cayman Islands, Gibraltar, Guernsey, Hong Kong SAR, Labuan, Malta, the PR of China (where we also acted as an adviser on captives to the Chinese Insurance Regulator, the CIRC), Singapore and in numerous US states.
