Devonshire Underwriting appoints Robin Muir as Head of Contingent Risks

Devonshire Underwriting, a managing general agent (MGA) specialising in underwriting transactional risk solutions, has announced the appointment of Robin Muir as Head of Contingent Risks.

In his new role, Muir will focus on enhancing the company’s Contingent Risk Insurance product and ensuring seamless collaboration with clients to meet their evolving needs.

Muir is a qualified solicitor with expertise in restructuring and insolvency-related disputes and transactions. He joins Devonshire from Jones Day, where he trained as a solicitor and served as an Associate, primarily working in restructuring and litigation matters.

James Dodd, Partner at Devonshire Underwriting, said, “We’re delighted to welcome Robin to the team. Appointing a dedicated Head of Contingent Risks will enable us to better serve our clients, streamline response times, and deliver tailored quotes more efficiently. Our Contingent Risk Insurance product has seen an excellent start in its first nine months, with five significant deals already underwritten. Robin’s extensive experience in restructuring positions us perfectly to adapt to the rapidly evolving landscape of Contingent Risk insurance.”

Commenting on his new role, Muir said, “What an exciting time to join Devonshire Underwriting as it approaches its first anniversary. The expertise of the team, combined with the agility of the business, makes it the perfect environment to deliver the tailored solutions the market is increasingly demanding.

“During my time in private practice, I often wondered why insurance products weren’t deployed to address contingent risks commonly emerging from restructuring situations. Seeing Contingent Risk Insurance evolve to fill this gap will be a game-changer, and Devonshire is at the forefront of this innovation. We have a unique opportunity to shape the future of Contingent Risk Insurance, and I’m confident underwriters will welcome the product’s evolution in this space.”
