We work with insurance companies, reinsurance brokers, analytics and ratings firms, healthcare companies, architectural design and engineering consultancies, real estate interests, associations, and emergency management and mitigation firms. Having a manageable number of clients allows us to focus better and spend the time necessary to get results. This client-focused approach has withstood the test of time: we build long term relationships with our clients by making them a priority and achieving demonstrable results.
