Consilium

What Consilium does

Consilium (legal entity Assurances Consilium Inc., Quebec) is a privately held insurance and specialty re/insurance brokerage headquartered in Montreal, Canada, operating two interconnected lines of business. The domestic Canadian operation, branded Consilium Assurance Groupe Conseil, runs a multi-office retail and commercial insurance brokerage across Quebec (Brossard, Cowansville, Montreal-Ahuntsic, Montreal-Old Montreal, Mont-Tremblant, Saint-Jérôme, Sherbrooke) offering group insurance, advisory, risk management, and wealth-adjacent services across more than 18 industry verticals including construction, cannabis, crypto, life sciences, and AI/IT.

The international operation, branded simply as Consilium, is an independent global specialty re/insurance broker pursuing an aggressive expansion strategy since 2025. It operates specialty divisions in International Casualty Risk Solutions (healthcare, transportation, energy, construction, leisure, life sciences, digital) and Energy Risk Solutions (international energy liability and structured risk transfer), supported by proprietary technology platforms ATOMX and Fundshield that enable quote-and-bind and service delivery for fund management, financial institution, and private equity clients. A new Luxembourg office opened in May 2026 to tap the €8.3 trillion Luxembourg fund market, and the Scriptus commercial binding facility launched in June 2026 to give UK brokers delegated-authority access to Casualty, Property, and liability lines through in-house underwriting.

Consilium monetizes through brokerage commissions and fees on placed insurance and reinsurance coverage, supplemented by binding facility income via Scriptus and consulting/advisory fees from the Canadian side. The firm is led by co-founder and president Christian Foisy, with a senior leadership bench built through 2026 hires from Amwins Global Risks, BMS, Gallagher, Beazley, and CFC Underwriting. Novacap provided a growth funding round in December 2024, and the company has been publicly associated with a USD 1 billion global reinsurance brokerage revenue target.

• Willis Towers Watson (WTW): Global advisory and insurance broking firm with significant specialty and reinsurance capabilities. Competes with Consilium for complex cross-border placements, particularly in casualty and energy.

Emerging players
