A more thorough explanation:
Definition: Lloyd's underwriters are a group of insurance underwriters who operate under a common name. They are not incorporated and work through an attorney-in-fact who has the authority to obligate the underwriters individually, within specific limits, on insurance contracts that the attorney issues in the common name.
Examples: For example, if a person wants to insure their home, they can approach a Lloyd's underwriter who will issue a policy in the name of Lloyd's. The underwriters who are part of the association will then share the risk and liability of the policy. Another example is if a business wants to insure their assets, they can approach a Lloyd's underwriter who will issue a policy in the name of Lloyd's, and the underwriters will share the risk and liability of the policy.
