Grotefeld Hoffmann had the honor of hosting the 2026 Lloyd’s Non-Marine Under 30s group in Los Angeles last week. This event brought together emerging talents in the Lloyd’s of London market, including underwriters and brokers of varying classes of non-marine insurance and reinsurance business, to explore the ever-evolving facets of the North American insurance market.

The group began the day at the UCLA Luskin School for Public Policy for presentations by university professors on pressing issues surrounding the Great Los Angeles Fires of 2025 that are at the forefront of the insurance industry in the state of California and United States. Additionally, several members of our firm presented on issues surrounding subrogation and catastrophic losses, including Mark McGuire, Michael Scola, Meghan Rodda, Joel Radakovich, and Kaitlyn Dent.

Following the presentations the group enjoyed a trip to Dodger Stadium to watch the defending World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers take on the Miami Marlins on Japanese heritage night and to continue our discussions on the North American insurance market, while also fostering the lifelong relationships forged on such a memorable day. GH attendees included Anooj Thakrar, Daniel Berglund, Patrick Jarosch, Laura Johnson, Jessica Odum, Lilla Shkolnikov, Adam Trabish, Liv Kyle, Hunter Seibert, and Anna Ratterman.

It was a pleasure to spend time with this exceptional group that represents the future of the London market. Special thanks to our tour leads Oli Pirie and Millie O’Halloran. Cheers until next time!
