Rokstone, the international specialty re/insurance managing general agent (MGA), has launched a new International Casualty binder from its Dubai office, providing up to $25 million of capacity on a lead or follow primary basis, backed by A-rated Lloyd’s syndicates and led by Munich Re Syndicate Ltd.
The binder is now live and aims to strengthen Rokstone’s global casualty platform and expand its footprint in the Middle East.
It covers public and products liability, sudden & accidental pollution, and employers’ liability (when written alongside PL/Products), across the Middle East, Africa, Asia and the Pacific.
This launch builds on Rokstone’s global casualty expansion, following the recent rollout of multiple specialty casualty units across the US, UK & Ireland and internationally.
It reflects the MGA’s strategy to diversify its portfolio. The MENA casualty team is led by Adrian Briffa, who joined Rokstone’s Dubai office in late 2025.
He has over a decade of experience across underwriting and broking, having held roles at Chubb, Tysers and Guy Carpenter in the DIFC.
The binder aims to add new capacity into the DIFC and wider region, propelled by a disciplined underwriting approach focused on delivering sustainable, profitable results for capacity providers over the long term.
“While capacity remains plentiful, the business sees an opportunity to challenge complacency, launching with the intent of being a true alternative Lead market for brokers and cedants, combining high-quality capacity with a dynamic underwriting mindset,” explained the MGA.
The proposition is supported by Rokstone’s proprietary ATOMX technology ecosystem, which enhances data ingestion, converts unstructured loss information into actionable insights and supports granular modelling, rate adequacy, and loss ratio forecasting from inception.
Adrian Briffa, Head of Third Party Lines, Rokstone, commented, “This launch marks an important step in building out our Middle East and Africa Casualty offering. We are bringing meaningful, high-quality capacity into the market, backed by strong security and a disciplined underwriting approach.
“While there is currently plenty of capacity available in the market, we see a clear opportunity to offer brokers something different – greater choice, technical expertise and an exceptional standard of service in underwriting and handling claims.
“Combined with our market-leading technology and in-house claims capabilities, we create a compelling proposition for clients across the region. We are delighted to partner with Munich Re Syndicate Limited as our Lead capacity provider in the MENA region and look forward to this being a longstanding relationship,” concluded Briffa.
