Monte Carlo #70 - Carla Moffett & Sam Sweeney: Casualty Isn’t Softening Like Property

Property is softening at a sprint. Casualty is walking, and keeping one eye on US social inflation. On the TRP yacht at Monte Carlo RVS 2026, Lockton Re's Carla Moffett and Sam Sweeney explain why casualty reinsurance won't follow the rest of the market down, and why the brokers worth hiring now do much more than place the treaty.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:

• Why casualty capacity is plentiful but pricing isn't dropping as fast as property
• How portfolio quota shares covering MGA and delegated books are creating placements outside the renewal season
• What reinsurers want to hear on social inflation: claims defence, early reserving, paying quickly
• How to make sure hard-won original rate gets credit on the reinsurance side
• Why blanket AI exclusions don't work when silent AI already sits inside PI, D&O and GL
• Where AI is already sharpening broker work: submissions, data ingestion, contract reviews
