Our offices are located in Paris, in close proximity to the insurers with whom we work. We also rely on a network of partners across key international locations, enabling us to mobilise the expertise and resources required to handle your claims, wherever the loss occurs.
In 2021, Airdjusting joined the Naudet Group, a leading provider of loss adjusting and risk expertise for industrial and commercial risks in France and internationally.
