Michael Lock joins Ed’s professional and executive risk team

Ed, the global reinsurance, wholesale and specialty broker, has appointed Michael Lock as divisional director in its professional and executive risk team.

Lock has over 10 years of transactions experience, having spent the past five years investing either directly for private equity funds or as part of buy and build programmes for their portfolio companies. He is also a qualified chartered accountant.

Ed said his financial acumen and private equity expertise will provide invaluable support in offering insurance solutions for M&A transactions, including warranty and indemnity, tax liability and contingent liability.

The appointment follows the arrival of Robert Coward as as divisional director in its professional and executive risk team.

Lock reports to Niraj Perera, head of transactional risk, who said: “Despite the current economic climate, Ed has a strong focus on the M&A market, and continuing to hire and invest in the best industry talent means that we can provide top-tier support and advice to our clients.”
