Company Overview

In a world of conglomerates, corporations and umbrella organisations, Paragon shines through as a truly specialist and independent insurance broker.

In 1996, co-founders James Kalbassi and Tara Falk established Paragon as a boutique insurance broker, specialising in professional liability. Drawing on their experiences working for some of the biggest insurance providers, a common objective was formed: to specialize in certain lines, to tailor solutions to client needs, and to wrap all this up in a personalised service package.

Today, Paragon has grown into a major international insurance provider with offices in London and Bermuda. Yet we have never wavered from these core beliefs; we are still 100% owned by management, and still retain that dynamic, entrepreneurial spirit. The benefits to our clients are clear:

Unbeatable sector knowledge and experience in many areas, including Professional Liability, Financial, Commercial and Political Risk

A boutique broking model that supplies tailored products, as opposed to a centralised broking system prevalent in some larger companies that can miss finer details

Longstanding broking relationships with key market players, which means negotiation is carried out directly with senior underwriters, not through a marketing centre or an intermediary

Expert in-house claims handling service

Global reach across many insurance markets including Lloyds of London

Entrepreneurial company culture that fosters a professional, winning attitude
