We offer a broad spectrum of insurance solutions, including core coverages such as management liability, cyber, property and workers' compensation, as well as specialty production-related coverages such as cast, extra expense, negative film and digital elements, aviation and marine insurance.

In addition, we offer valuable risk management assessments and insights, helping companies identify and assess risks associated with an individual production. We analyze factors such as operations, contracts, safety protocols and regulatory compliance to discover potential vulnerabilities related to each production and develop a tailored risk management strategy.

Global network helps deliver a variety of TV and film industry coverages

We work with our London specialty team on coverages such as event cancellation and abandonment, weather risks, non-appearance, insurability issues and buy-back deductibles. This team's strong relationships with many underwriters in these markets help us secure specialist wordings and products that may otherwise be unavailable to you.

For US clients that are filming productions overseas, our global capabilities mean our international partners can arrange insurance policies that result in a better outcome for those clients.

Helping protect the entertainment industry from cyber threats

Null

The threat of cyber attacks is very real for production studios and content creation companies — from ransomware and cyber extortion to social engineering attacks. The result of an attack can vary from a potentially catastrophic loss of income due to a business interruption (a studio may have to stop production if it can't access its digital assets), to fraudulent payments made to a threat actor posing as a vendor. Even a cyber incident that affects a critical supplier can have a huge impact on a production if a studio or producer doesn't have access to necessary supplies or services.

At Gallagher, we can advise and educate you on what cybersecurity controls are most important to underwriters, helping you prepare for an insurance placement that meets your needs. In addition, our cyber risk management team can work with you to assess your exposures and strengthen your security controls to reduce risks. And if there's a cyber incident, we're there to advocate for you with the insurance companies and to help you triage and mitigate the loss.

Standing behind you with dedicated claims support

Our experienced, dedicated claims team works directly with carriers, stepping in to defend a claim if needed and advocate for the best possible outcome for you.

Success story: Securing high-risk cast insurance for crucial actor

The challenge

We sought cast insurance for a film franchise that needed a high-risk actor for continuity between installments.

The solution

We created an insurance solution with a higher deductible for catastrophic interruption. We placed a policy to infill the higher deductible in London for a modest premium.

The result

Because we secured the insurance, the actor continued his role, and the movies were made.

You focus on creating the magic. We'll manage your risks

Gallagher's specialist team is ready to help you tackle the risks faced by film, TV and other media companies. With our risk assessments, insurance solutions and claims support, you can concentrate on producing hits while we manage the off-screen drama.
