Legal Consulting Services We know that Food and Agribusiness is a highly-regulated industry that is continually changing.

Our team has worked with many clients across the Food and Agribusiness industry. We have a global view of the sector; our team will help you to ensure that you are meeting contractual obligations, and confirming that coverages you need are in place. Transactional Brokerage Services We realize that there are risks that must be insured against to ensure the sustainability of your business. Our team of experts actively negotiates coverage and costs on behalf of our clients. But we do more than gather the information and send it to the underwriters; we propose solutions. Many times, our team will draft the policy language to specifically address your unique risks while keeping an eye on costs. We have experienced, former underwriters as part of our group to help us understand how underwriters think, and help us to negotiate the policies more effectively for clients.

5 Claims Advocacy Services Even with the best safety measures and precautions, claims will occur. We will be there to ensure you get the recovery you are entitled to, and that the insurance companies uphold their end of the commitment. Our brokerage/ engineering team also oversees claims management, so one team will supervise your program from start to finish. The same team that identifies your risk and negotiates your policy are the ones who work with you to get the recovery when the claim occurs. As a result, your claims recovery team is knowledgeable about your business and your policy. The same team that placed the policy and did the legal and engineering due diligence are also your claims advocates. Loss Control Services Effective risk management often involves avoiding risks before they occur. Toward this end, we work with our clients to increase awareness and incorporate the practice of risk management, risk control and loss prevention. The ultimate goal is fewer workplace accidents and a lower cost of risk. Our experienced team of loss control professionals will work with you to determine that appropriate procedures are in place to reduce premiums while ensuring the safety and well-being of your employees. They will also counsel you on additional insurance coverages that may be appropriate for the risks encountered by your business.
