Longbrook strengthens its US offering with Tanya Golikova hire

Longbrook Insurance has strengthened its Transactional Liability offering with the appointment of Tanya Golikova, who will lead Longbrook’s North America Tax Liability insurance practice.

Tanya joins Longbrook from AIG, where she was the underwriting leader in tax focusing on renewable tax credits and M&A related products. Tanya brings 11 years of tax experience, including as an M&A manager at PwC New York where she advised on various tax aspects of domestic and cross-border transactions.

Headquartered in London, Longbrook Insurance is a specialist underwriting business designed to forge lasting partnerships with clients, carriers and broker partners.

In April, Longbrook launched its Transactional Liability offering, providing bespoke solutions to support mergers and acquisitions globally including Representations and Warranties Insurance (Warranty and Indemnity Insurance) and Tax Liability Insurance.

Longbrook’s Transactional Liability business is supported by long term underwriting capacity providing clients and brokers with access to a secure, highly rated balance sheet alongside specialist underwriting expertise.

In June, a US-based insurance brokerage was launched (Longbrook US Opco LLC) to facilitate U.S. insurance placements on an excess and surplus lines basis.

Tanya Golikova, Head of North America Tax Liability said:

“I am thrilled to be joining this expert team as Longbrook becomes a recognized sector leader in the US.”

US insurance operations are led by Mike Sherry, Head of North America Transactional Liability, who said:

“This is a key hire which underscores our commitment to build a best-in-class transactional liability offering in the US. Tanya brings a wealth of experience to our tax liability line of business which will be invaluable as our business continues to grow.”

Longbrook aims to offer insurance solutions through its UK and US companies by combining deep technical underwriting capabilities 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.
