In the [[Definition:London market | London market]], the placing document serves as the definitive statement of the contract&#039;s commercial and coverage terms once the risk has been fully subscribed, replacing or formalizing what was initially negotiated on a [[Definition:Placing slip | placing slip]]. It functions as the bridge between market negotiation and the issuance of a final [[Definition:Policy | policy]] or [[Definition:Contract | contract]] wording.<br /> <br /> ⚙️ Preparation of the placing document is typically the responsibility of the [[Definition:Placing broker | placing broker]], who compiles all agreed terms — including the [[Definition:Premium | premium]], [[Definition:Limit of liability | limits]], [[Definition:Deductible | deductibles]], [[Definition:Exclusion | exclusions]], [[Definition:Subjectivity | subjectivities]], and the signed lines of each participating [[Definition:Underwriter | underwriter]]. Under [[Definition:Lloyd&#039;s of London | Lloyd&#039;s]] market protocols and the broader London market&#039;s [[Definition:Contract certainty | contract certainty]] requirements, the placing document must accurately reflect the bargain struck between the parties and be issued within a prescribed timeframe after [[Definition:Binding | binding]]. Electronic platforms like [[Definition:Placing platform limited (PPL) | PPL]] have streamlined document creation by auto-populating fields from the digital slip, reducing transcription errors.<br /> <br /> 📌 Accurate and timely placing documents are fundamental to [[Definition:Contract certainty | contract certainty]] — the principle that all parties should have a clear, agreed record of coverage before inception or shortly thereafter. Disputes over what was actually agreed remain one of the most persistent sources of friction in [[Definition:Subscription market | subscription markets]], and a well-constructed placing document mitigates this risk. Regulators, including [[Definition:Lloyd&#039;s of London | Lloyd&#039;s]] and the [[Definition:Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) | FCA]], have placed increasing emphasis on documentation standards, making the quality of placing documents a compliance concern as much as a commercial one.<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;Related concepts:&#039;&#039;&#039;<br /> {{Div col|colwidth=20em}}<br /> * [[Definition:Placing slip]]<br /> * [[Definition:Contract certainty]]<br /> * [[Definition:Market reform contract (MRC)]]<br /> * [[Definition:Placing]]<br /> * [[Definition:Placing broker]]<br /> * [[Definition:Policy wording]]<br /> {{Div col end}}</div>
