ICW Specialty Launches Legacy Solutions Unit Led by Lisa Walsh

The platform leverages ICW Group’s established actuarial and claims infrastructure to provide corporations with strategies for offloading legacy risks. This expansion follows the 2025 launch of ICW Specialty, which has already introduced product lines in excess casualty, flood insurance, and alternative risk transfer. By integrating these capabilities, the company aims to offer structured solutions for organizations seeking greater certainty regarding their historical insurance obligations.

Lisa Walsh joins the firm after a career spanning senior roles at Swiss Re, Benfield, and London Life and Casualty Reinsurance Corporation. Her mandate includes building a specialized team to execute complex risk transfer transactions. According to Tracey Estes, Chief Underwriting Officer at ICW Specialty, Walsh’s background in structured reinsurance and her technical expertise make her the ideal candidate to scale the new division while maintaining the company’s focus on disciplined underwriting.
