Over the last five months, Miller has significantly expanded its Construction practice, bringing in specialists across UK and International Construction, Renewable Energy & Environmental Technology and Surety lines.

Forming part of Miller’s wider strategic growth ambitions, facilitated by our acquisition by Cinven, the international private equity firm, and GIC, Singapore’s sovereign wealth fund back in March 2021, we have also now opened offices in Geneva and Bermuda, adding to our presence already in Paris, Brussels and Singapore. 

Our Construction, Renewables & Surety team works with owners, developers, contractors, engineering consultants, financiers, professional advisers and asset managers, to name but a few, always with the aim of getting clients the right solution and the best the market has to offer. The increased experience and expertise of our team now means we can offer a broader range of risk management and insurance solutions, helping you to navigate the complex construction risk environment.
