The Helpdesk has been repositioned to improve its accessibility to and profile with
the Lloyd’s market. The redesign is intended to provide a flexible and attractive
workspace, maximising the effectiveness of Lloyd’s international advice service.
The Helpdesk will be manned by staff from Lloyd’s International Trading Advice
(LITA), which offers Lloyd’s market participants a fast and professional assistance
and advice service on issues relating to Lloyd’s international trading rights.
By providing international trading advice and assistance, LITA helps to meet two key Lloyd’s objectives: ensuring international regulatory requirements are met and
protecting Lloyd’s licences. Up-to-date information and advice on legal, fiscal and
regulatory issues is an important ingredient in the transaction of international business. Without such guidance, there is a risk that underwriters, and those acting on their behalf, may act in ways that insurance regulators and other authorities view as non-compliant, possibly leading to the imposition of fines or other penalties, or even threatening Lloyd’s overall trading position in a market.
LITA provides:
- Guidance on specific questions relating to country-specific regulatory and taxation requirements.
- Tailored briefings for market participants on a topic or country of interest.
- Educational/briefing sessions from various representatives from Lloyd’s.
- Briefings on sanctions and money laundering.
- Opportunities to meet with Lloyd’s overseas representatives when they are in London.
