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 component 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 questions relating to country-specific regulatory and taxation requirements.
• Tailored briefings for market participants on key regulatory issues 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.
