Davies Architect has opened two new offices in the last quarter. Its recent claims history includes a break-in at its head office a month ago and legal action against the firm due to a structural mistake made by the architect and engineer six months ago. The firm's insurance broker is reviewing its current insurance program, and the renewal date is in two months. Due to stable market conditions, there have been no recent changes made by insurers to policy wordings or pricing. The firm has been very cooperative with providing information. Briefly discuss how the broker would review the renewal for this architectural firm.

see the Explanation for Detailed Solution.
Explanation:
The broker should treat the renewal as a full exposure review, not a simple repeat of the previous policy. First, the two new offices must be added to the insurance program. The broker should confirm addresses, occupancy, property values, equipment, lease obligations, security, employees, and any change in revenue or professional activity at those locations. If the new offices are not disclosed properly, the firm may have uninsured property or liability exposures.
Second, the broker should review the break-in claim. This requires checking property, crime, burglary, security safeguards, alarm systems, locks, access controls, and any insurer recommendations. A recent theft loss may affect deductibles, terms, or underwriting attitude.
Third, the legal action involving a structural mistake is a major professional liability issue. The broker must review the architects' errors and omissions policy, claim reporting, retroactive date, limits, deductibles, engineers' involvement, and whether the claim has been properly notified.
Because the market is stable and the client is cooperative, renewal negotiations should be manageable.
However, the broker must update all material facts and recommend coverage changes where exposures have changed. Course topic reference: Monitoring and Modifying the Risk Management Plan; Liability; Professional Liability; Renewal Review; Architects' E & O .
