Lockton to Add Market-Leading Experts to Global Energy Team

LONDON, Aug. 5, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Global insurance broker Lockton will add three leading energy risk management leaders to its Lockton Global Energy practice.

Tim Law will join as chairman of Lockton Global Energy with the support of veteran energy insurance executives Tim Clarke and Blake Roseveare in London.

They will work alongside the 150 professionals in Lockton's established energy operations in the U.S., U.K., United Arab Emirates, Thailand, Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Brazil, and Mexico.  

"Lockton is fortunate to attract these highly capable market leaders to help us drive business results for our energy clients," said John L. Lumelleau, president and CEO of Lockton.

Law has served as executive director in broker RK Harrison's energy team in London. With four decades of experience, Law is recognized as a leader, expert, and innovator in the energy insurance brokerage market.

Clarke is an expert in risk management and insurance for upstream energy companies and has been with Aon since 2006.
