At MiC we understand the unique risks and challenges faced by media organizations in today’s ever-changing landscape.   That’s why we offer customized insurance plans that are tailored to the specific needs of each client. Whether you are a small start up or an established media conglomerate we’re here to help you protect your business and achieve your goals.

There are many contractual situations that require media and production companies to provide evidence of a media liability insurance policy. Media Liability insurance provides coverage for clients creating and disseminating content against claims brought by a third party. Both traditional and non-traditional media companies face similar exposures when it comes to the creation of original content e.g. defamation and copyright. MiC Specialty offers broad coverage for content creators in all business sectors so they can meet their contractual requirements and feel protected and supported should a claim arise.

MiC’s tailored approach to underwriting enables us to remain in line with the industry as it shifts and evolves, tweaking terms to ensure clients receive coverage that applies.
