We Focus on Managing Risk
We provide innovative risk management solutions that protect our clients from potentially catastrophic financial loss while reducing their cost of insurance. Our unique approach focuses on:

Listening closely to your business and personal needs
Taking the time to fully understand your business operations, exposures and priorities
Developing innovative techniques and processes to manage risk and reduce loss
Looking at all options including non-insurance methods to transfer risk

Our unique strength is our ability to develop or negotiate the most beneficial mechanisms to protect you by insuring or financing your risk. For example, our Claims and Risk Management Department has returned millions of dollars of workers’ compensation savings to large insured and self-insured programs previously managed by national brokerage firms.

Our clients tell us that we:

Take the time to really listen to their issues and understand their business operations, personal needs, risk exposures and priorities;
Introduce them to innovative ways, including non-insurance methods, to manage their risk and reduce their potential for loss;
Successfully help them to protect and grow their assets.

Example: Nursing Home Industry Helped
When the nursing home industry was about to fall into an insurance crisis in the professional liability marketplace, we were the only broker in New York State to facilitate the development of an alternative insurance company owned by the nursing home industry. This helped our nursing home clients avert a price increase of over 300 percent! We did not apply “cookie cutter” solutions. Instead, we used our expertise to and influence to devise innovative strategies that benefit the entire industry.
