Hellings Austin Risk Management

Hellings Austin Risk Management is an insurance broking and risk advisory firm specialising in technology and healthcare – sectors where AI adoption is growing rapidly. The firm helps businesses using AI find tailored insurance solutions and provides strategic risk advice to support safe and confident implementation of AI systems.

AI presents unique challenges from an insurance perspective. Hellings Austin bridges the gap between technical complexity and insurer understanding, helping clients communicate their risk posture clearly and effectively. This unlocks insurability for risks that might otherwise be excluded, enabling more businesses to adopt or develop AI technologies while maintaining essential protection.

The firm’s approach is grounded in deep client understanding – not just of operations and risk exposure, but also of motivations, values and long-term goals. This allows Hellings Austin to deliver risk strategies that are both technically sound and commercially aligned.

Hellings Austin commenced trading on 1 July 2025 and has made AI exposure a core pillar of its strategy. The firm is actively onboarding clients in this space and building partnerships across cybersecurity and venture capital to further support AI adoption and risk management.

Their services span multiple sectors, including financial institutions, technology, startups, venture capital, life sciences, biotech, health, engineering, manufacturing, mining, energy, resources and public companies. They offer risk advice and transfer solutions for businesses planning to adopt AI or release AI-enabled products, with a unique skillset that addresses the knowledge gap often found in traditional insurance broking.
