International specialist re/insurance managing general agent (MGA) Rokstone has launched a new international casualty insurance binder from its Dubai office, offering up to $25 million of capacity on a lead or follow-prime basis, supported by A-rated Lloyds syndicate and led by Munich Re Syndicate Ltd.
The binder, now live, is designed to strengthen Rokstone’s global casualty platform and expand its footprint in the Middle East.
It covers public and product liability, sudden and accidental contamination and employer liability (when written with PL/Product) in the Middle East, Africa, Asia and the Pacific.
This launch builds on Rokstone’s global casualty expansion, following the recent launch of multiple specialist casualty divisions in the US, UK and Ireland, as well as internationally.
It reflects MGA’s strategy of diversifying its investment portfolio. The MENA casualty team is led by Adrian Briffa, who joined Rokstone’s Dubai office in late 2025.
He has over ten years of experience in underwriting and brokerage, having held positions with Chubb, Tysers and Guy Carpenter at DIFC.
The binder aims to add new capacity to the DIFC and wider region, driven by a disciplined underwriting approach focused on delivering long-term sustainable, profitable results for capacity providers.
MGA explained: “While capacity remains abundant, the company sees an opportunity to challenge complacency and launches with the aim of becoming a genuine alternative to the dominant market for brokers and cedents, combining high-quality capacity with dynamic underwriting thinking.”
This proposition is supported by Rokstone’s proprietary ATOMX technology ecosystem, which enhances data ingestion, transforms unstructured loss information into actionable insights, and supports granular modeling, rate adequacy and loss rate prediction from the start.
Adrian Briffa, head of third-party business at Rokstone, commented: “This launch marks an important step in building out our casualty insurance product offering in the Middle East and Africa. We are bringing meaningful, high-quality capacity to the market, supported by strong security and a disciplined underwriting approach.
“While there is currently sufficient capacity in the market, we see a clear opportunity to offer brokers something different – more choice, technical expertise and exceptional service standards in underwriting and processing claims.
Briffa concluded: “Combining our market-leading technology and in-house claims capabilities, we offer a compelling proposition to customers in the region. We are delighted to be working with Munich Re Syndicate GmbH as our leading capacity provider in the MENA region and look forward to this long-term relationship.”
