From Q2 2024, AXIS Canada will provide EIL coverages, specifically targeting contractors' pollution liability, pollution legal liability, and follow-form environmental business.

"Ludwig has exceptional knowledge of the EIL landscape and deep relationships in the Canadian insurance industry. In leading our new offering, he will be an essential member of our team as we strive to be our broker partners' number one carrier in this dynamic risk environment."

Mr. Nagata added: "The addition of EIL to our portfolio of insurance products will elevate and diversify AXIS Canada's offering and provides policyholders with the option to further enhance their overall risk management strategy through our suite of complementary products."
