BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

ATLANTA--Catlin U.S., a unit of Bermuda-based international specialty property/casualty insurer Catlin Group Ltd., has established an Atlanta-based primary and excess underwriting unit.

The five-person unit, headed by Vp Steve Singer, will underwrite specialty classes of primary and excess casualty risks for U.S. policyholders on a nationwide basis, according to the company.

Richard Banas, chief executive officer of Atlanta-based Catlin U.S., said in a statement: "The Catlin Group has underwritten specialty lines in the U.S. market for many years. The establishment of our new Atlanta-based casualty unit--along with the recent formation of our professional lines unit in New York--further strengthens Catlin's position as a quality underwriter of specialty lines in the United States."
