CIMA International:
If you are a US firm developing business in Europe - Adapting your insurance program to reflect your international scope can be a major issue. There are significant differences between the US and Europe in the application of insurance laws and customs, and the terminology of insurance contracts. Even if the same insurance carrier represents your operations on both sides of the Atlantic, there can be overlapping coverage or unforeseen exposures, unless you are working with professionals who can coordinate those insurance contracts effectively. That's where CIMA International comes in. We coordinate your insurance program so you don't need to puzzle it out for yourself.
CIMA International includes a network of European brokers, and the European offices of major insurance carriers. When we engage their services on your behalf, you become their customer, just as you continue to be our customer.
If you are a European firm developing business in the USA - There are 50 regulatory jurisdictions, each with its own requirements. There are bound to be difficulties in the interpretation and application of insurance laws and customs, and in the terminology of insurance contracts you depend upon - unless you are working with a broker who can coordinate those insurance contracts effectively.
As a customer of CIMA, you continue working with your current European broker, while you construct your insurance and risk management program to take advantage of both the European and US insurance environments. CIMA offers a complete range of property/casualty, marine and risk management services in the US, including claims management, loss control, communications, and even employee benefits for customers wishing to have them.
If you are engaged in international commerce - CIMA International's services include the arrangement of insurance and all services related to shipping, forwarding, warehousing, etc.
