## Provider Reliability Assessments

These sourced assessments are shown for context; this comparison does not select a winner.

### Lockton

Role: Broker.

Broker Spot Score: **5.6/10** (partial score; 15% of this role's weighting included). Assessed 2026-09-22; review due 2026-10-22. Excluded factors: Identity and Authority (Current authority and applicable appointments or delegations have not been independently established across the assessed scope.); Carrier-Network Strength (The reviewed evidence does not name the carrier and capacity arrangements behind the assessed programs, so the relationships cannot be assessed.); Regulatory Conduct (A complete, exact-entity regulatory-conduct review for the preceding five years is unavailable.).

### WTW

Role: Broker.

Broker Spot Score: **7.0/10** (partial score; 70% of this role's weighting included). Assessed 2026-09-29; review due 2026-10-29. Excluded factors: Carrier-Network Strength (The supplied evidence did not support a score for Carrier-Network Strength; this factor is excluded, not scored as zero. Canonical evidence gaps: The FCA register could not be loaded, so Willis Limited's FCA number and permissions are company-reported.; No NAIC or NIPR search was completed for WTW's U.S. entities beyond the Texas order; that license's current status was not re-checked.; The FSMA entry says "Willis Towers Watson" without SA/NV, so the link to the UK-branch parent is inferred from WTW's 10-K.; WTW publishes no named insurer roster, so network evidence is limited to scale and disclosures.; Third-party trackers list further U.S. state penalties, but no regulator source for them was opened, so they are not relied on.).

A listing may be arranged through an insurer or partner. “Not listed” means this catalogue has no separate offering recorded; ask the provider whether it can quote the coverage and request the policy terms.



## Optional Spot Service Handoff

Spot can help prepare applications, coordinate brokers, and compare proposals. If that work is needed, collect the company's task, known deadline, current broker, and open questions for a [free consultation](https://spot.insure/pricing.md). The company decides what to buy; Spot does not automatically bind coverage.

## How Lockton and WTW Differ

Lockton is documented as a broker or intermediary relationship, while WTW's North American Corporate Risk & Broking terms describe a broker or intermediary relationship. This pair is useful for comparing who will advise on your placement, who will approach insurers, and which legal company will issue each policy.

### Business Roles and Access

Lockton's published description: You work with Lockton as a broker for risk, benefits and retirement programs; it arranges and services policies but is not the risk-bearing insurer. [1](https://global.lockton.com/us/en "Lockton United States")

WTW's published description: For Corporate Risk & Broking engagements governed by its North American terms, WTW says it normally acts as the client’s insurance intermediary. [23](https://www.wtwco.com/-/media/WTW/notices/BTCD-CRB-NA-June-2025.pdf "Corporate Risk & Broking Brokerage Terms, Conditions & Disclosures (Canada & US)")

Use each proposal to identify the licensed producer, any program intermediary, and the legal insurer for each policy. Brand names and group disclosures do not identify those roles for a specific placement.

### Customer and Industry Fit

Lockton's published description: Technology, hardware, software, internet, medical-device, semiconductor and telecom organizations can ask Lockton about brokerage; public pages give no company-size, funding or revenue minimum. [1](https://global.lockton.com/us/en "Lockton United States")

WTW's published description: At WTW’s December 2024 Investor Day, management described Risk & Broking as roughly half large business and half middle market and below; the answer did not give a US-specific share. [27](https://investors.wtwco.com/static-files/ea54f7ae-6b23-4006-98e1-5b2cd32b3f37 "WTW Investor Day transcript, December 3, 2024")

The companies describe different customer or industry scopes. Treat those descriptions as starting points for a conversation, then ask each to confirm appetite for your actual operations, revenue, locations, and contracts.

### Application and Binding

Lockton's published description: You can start with a Lockton team inquiry or email its cyber and technology group; reviewed pages do not offer a self-service bind flow or guaranteed quote turnaround. [12](https://global.lockton.com/us/en/contact-us "Contact Us")

WTW's published description: Under WTW’s North American Corporate Risk & Broking terms, an insurer quote is an offer, not confirmation of coverage, and may change or be withdrawn before the client orders binding. [23](https://www.wtwco.com/-/media/WTW/notices/BTCD-CRB-NA-June-2025.pdf "Corporate Risk & Broking Brokerage Terms, Conditions & Disclosures (Canada & US)")

The documented entry route affects what you prepare and when you receive a usable proposal. An application, online indication, or insurer quote is not itself confirmation that coverage is bound.

### Service and Renewals

Lockton's published description: Lockton describes dedicated account teams, risk control and renewal service, including a round-the-clock technology service model; confirm actual service commitments and portal features because public pages provide no standard service agreement. [5](https://global.lockton.com/us/en/products-services/casualty "Casualty Insurance")

WTW's published description: WTW’s North American terms say it reviews binders, policies and endorsements against negotiated specifications and client instructions and advises on errors or recommended changes. [23](https://www.wtwco.com/-/media/WTW/notices/BTCD-CRB-NA-June-2025.pdf "Corporate Risk & Broking Brokerage Terms, Conditions & Disclosures (Canada & US)")

Service descriptions identify possible support routes, not a guaranteed response time or claims result. Ask who will handle certificates, endorsements, renewals, and claim communications for the policy you are considering.

## Questions to Resolve Before Comparing Quotes

Ask each provider to identify the producer of record, the legal insurer for every proposed policy, and the state-specific availability of each requested line. Request the insurer's forms and endorsements, then compare limits, retentions, exclusions, conditions, and any required companion policies.

Ask what information remains outstanding before binding, who will confirm the effective date in writing, and which team handles changes, certificates, renewals, and claim communications. Request premium, taxes, fees, and producer compensation separately where applicable. Neither public product descriptions nor a quote alone establishes identical protection, final eligibility, or a bound policy.
