Longbrook appoints Shaun Reynolds as Head of Transactional Liability

Longbrook Insurance (Longbrook) has today appointed Shaun Reynolds as Head of Transactional Liability. 

Shaun has over 20 years’ mergers and acquisitions experience, and prior to joining Longbrook, he worked for AIG where he underwrote numerous high-profile transactions throughout Asia Pacific, including Australia, NZ, Korea, China and South-East Asia.

Prior to that, Shaun worked for a number of top tier law firms in Sydney and London including Herbert Smith Freehills and Simmons & Simmons, advising clients on complex cross border transactions.

Shaun has a Bachelor of Laws (Hons) degree with the University of Technology Sydney and is admitted to the Supreme Court of NSW. 

Shaun Reynolds, Head of Transactional Liability at Longbrook, said: 

“My priority at Longbrook will be to build a Warranty & Indemnity (W&I) and Tax offering that clients and brokers can rely on – one grounded in consistent, client-driven underwriting, backed by strong capital partnerships and delivered through genuine collaboration. Alongside secure, highly rated capacity, we will bring the specialist expertise that complex transactions demand.” 

Michael Timmins, Chief Operating Officer at Longbrook said: 

“We are thrilled to welcome Shaun to Longbrook. His depth of experience in the W&I and Tax market is exactly what we need as we work to establish Longbrook as a leading underwriting business. Building a platform of this kind demands real collaboration, commitment and expertise — and in Shaun, we have someone who brings all of that in abundance.” 

Headquartered in London, Longbrook is a specialist underwriting business designed to forge lasting partnerships with clients, carriers and broker partners. The new offering will provide bespoke solutions to support mergers and acquisitions globally including W&I Insurance (Representations and Warranties Insurance) and Tax Liability Insurance.  

Longbrook aims to offer insurance solutions by combining deep technical underwriting capability with a differentiated distribution platform and enhanced risk management insights, leveraging extensive relationships with leading global insurers and brokers. Additional product lines, including Energy, Renewables and Title Insurance, are expected to follow later this year.
