Matt Shanks joined Amwins in 2013 to work on professional liability/E&O, complex cyber liability, and management liability. In 2018, he became the financial lines practice leader in Atlanta, where he leads what he considers to be the best team in the business.
The key to specializing in cyber liability is understanding that the market is always evolving. Matt and his team are always ahead of the game, understanding coverages and adapting to the “new normal”. They work hard and extremely fast with a focus on spending real time with the markets to understand how insureds will respond to the always changing marketplace.
A tight-knit group that is focused on coverage, customer service, response time, and market relationships, Matt and his team are committed to regular communication with their partners. They are out in front, providing details on market appetite and why the market has evolved so quickly.
“We offer an advantage with the strength, support and backing of a large firm like Amwins. The resources we have on-hand makes a huge difference when it comes to coverage discussions and market leverage,” he says.
