Insurance Advisory

Better Coverage Comes from knowing your options

Your business needs protection from the unthinkable. Whether you’re named in a lawsuit, subject of a cyber-attack or your business is shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic, you rely on your insurance policy to protect your business and your livelihood.

A PARTNER YOU CAN LEVERAGE

As a business owner and decision maker, you often don’t have time to closely examine your ongoing and ever-changing insurance coverages. Unfortunately, many businesses learn their coverage was inadequate only after coverage was denied for an incident. Don’t let this happen to you!

Our goal is to meet you where you’re at and help you to assess and in some cases, select the right type of insurance, determine the appropriate amount of insurance and fully understand your coverages.

Our insurance advisory group is actively monitoring how insurance companies and courts are responding to the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic and can help advise you on key aspects of your policy.
