Polaris Corporate Solutions GmbH

What Polaris Corporate Solutions GmbH does

Polaris Corporate Solutions GmbH is a boutique specialist insurance underwriting agency (Managing General Agent, or MGA) founded in Vienna in 2013. The firm underwrites specialty casualty and Financial Lines coverage on behalf of capacity providers — primarily Lloyd's Syndicates and other highly rated international insurers and reinsurers (e.g., Premier Financial Security) — and distributes exclusively through insurance brokers on a B2B basis. Since becoming a Lloyd's Coverholder in 2014, Polaris has positioned itself in markets that are typically underserved by large Western specialty insurers, including Central and Eastern Europe, Southern Europe, Turkey, the South Caucasus, Central Asia, and the Middle East.

The product suite centers on Financial Lines (Directors & Officers Liability, Employment Practices Liability, Crime, Pension Trustees Liability, Public Offering of Securities Insurance, Commercial Professional Indemnity) complemented by General Liability and emerging-risk products including Cyber Insurance and Technology Errors & Omissions. Polaris holds an Austrian insurance distribution license (GISA code 25410037) and operates from a Vienna headquarters (Kurrentgasse 12/5) plus a Zagreb branch office (Martićeva 51) established in 2021 under Freedom of Establishment rights. Reported headcount is approximately five personnel, including Managing Directors Peter Schlamberger and Vanja Nadali, with no disclosed parent company, institutional investors, funding rounds, or subsidiaries.
