Wordings Committee

The LMA Wordings Committee was originally established in the early 2000s to support the LMA’s Non-Marine Committee (NMC) in its responsibility for approving LMA model wordings.

Today, the committee is comprised of 10 experienced members from across the Lloyd’s wordings community and supported by the LMA’s wordings and legal teams. It convenes on a monthly basis to review draft wordings and discuss other issues of interest.

The committee reports to the NMC on a monthly basis, detailing wordings currently in production and submitting draft policy wordings and clauses to the NMC for formal approval.

Wordings in production

On a monthly basis, the Wordings Committee provides a comprehensive report to the NMC, detailing the full list of policy wordings and clauses currently under development.
