Edge Underwriting Pty Ltd

Since its inception in 2011, Edge Underwriting has distinguished itself by pushing the boundaries of coverage, benefits, service, appetite, and value. Founded with the vision of bringing corporate-grade insurance solutions to small, midsize, and large commercial clients, Edge consistently delivers market-leading policies and services tailored to the needs of brokers and their clients. Through innovation, Edge has achieved numerous industry firsts, providing comprehensive coverage and best-in-class products that address diverse business risks.

Edge Underwriting’s specialties lie in Liability and Legal Expenses coverage, with the flexibility to source bespoke wholesale solutions through London, Singapore, and local markets for risks that don’t fit within existing binders. Key wholesale solutions include Professional Indemnity, Cyber, Management Liability, and Intellectual Property. “If a risk doesn’t fit our binders, we’ll look for solutions worldwide,” says Managing Director and lead underwriter David Jones.

Market Firsts include:
• Contractual Liability (blanket basis): First Australian agency to offer contractual liability, principal as joint insured, and waiver of subrogation on a blanket basis for SME risks via the GLUE product.
• Legal Advice: First to provide insureds with complimentary telephone legal advice, and then extended to employees.
• UAVs (Drones): First in Australia to cover drones within public and products liability policies.

Edge’s latest offerings extend to high-risk and specialized contractors, including cleaners, scaffolding contractors, and contractors working in high-hazard locations.

Edge’s commitment to prompt responses, typically within a day, rounds out a service model designed to support brokers and their clients who are often under time pressure. By combining innovative solutions with exceptional service, Edge continues to redefine insurance standards.
