How We Work
From introduction through execution, we work with your interests in mind to get exactly what you need. Our client advocacy takes many forms. For example:
- Finding coverage for a “gray area” insurance claim in danger of falling through the cracks or getting snagged by an exclusion.
- Helping a construction client’s customer get beyond the Experience Mod Rating in evaluating our client’s safety culture and safety program.
- Assisting our real estate developers in accurately monitoring the insurance of their tenants, subcontractors and vendors.
