Webinar: The thick of it – navigating Westminster and Whitehall, 2026

In this IIL London Market webinar, the speakers Caroline Wagstaff, George Lawley and Suzy Awford give an overview of what and why the speciality insurance market interacts with Westminster and Whitehall, insiders’ views on how to lobby effectively and some of the challenges of the last five years.
Why does the specialty insurance market invest time and effort in engaging with government? And how can businesses influence policy effectively in an increasingly complex political environment?
The UK specialty insurance market operates in a highly regulated and increasingly political environment. This webinar explores the relationship between the insurance industry and UK policymakers, offering practical insights into how Westminster and Whitehall work in practice. The speakers share their experiences advocating for the sector, discuss what makes lobbying effective, examine the major political, regulatory, and economic challenges that have shaped the insurance landscape over the past five years, and look forward to the rest of this parliament.
