The Work.

Three engagements. Different industries, different ownership structures, different stakes. The same discipline applied to each.

Case Study 01Mid-Market Manufacturing

A legacy general liability policy, untouched for eleven years.

A $180M annual-revenue precision parts manufacturer carried the same GL policy their broker placed in 2013. Product recall coverage had a $250K sublimit — written when their largest client was a regional distributor. By 2024, a single automotive OEM represented 60% of revenue. One recall event would have exceeded that sublimit in the first 48 hours.

Identified Gap

Sublimit exposure: $4.2M uncovered in worst-case recall scenario

Strategic Resolution

Restructured recall coverage with tiered limits tied to revenue concentration.

We mapped every client relationship against the existing policy structure, identified the concentration risk, and negotiated a product recall endorsement with $5M primary limits and a revenue-indexed review clause. The carrier accepted a 12% premium increase — versus the 340% increase the manufacturer assumed such coverage would require.

Case Study 02PE-Backed Portfolio Acquisition

Four acquired entities, four separate brokers, zero coordination.

A private equity firm closed a bolt-on acquisition, bringing their portfolio to four operating companies across two states. Each entity had its own broker, its own carrier relationships, and its own renewal cycle. Workers' comp experience modifiers were calculated in isolation — none of the entities shared safety program data, despite identical risk profiles.

Identified Gap

Experience modifier fragmentation adding $680K annually to workers' comp premium

Strategic Resolution

Unified the portfolio under a single master program with consolidated experience rating.

We conducted a 60-day coverage audit across all four entities, identified $1.4M in duplicate coverage, and structured a unified workers' comp program with a single experience modifier calculated on combined payroll. Safety program documentation was standardized and submitted to the carrier, triggering a retrospective credit in year one.

Case Study 03Family Business Succession

A third-generation business with first-generation risk awareness.

A regional HVAC distributor — $65M revenue, 140 employees — had been with the same broker for 22 years. The relationship was cordial. The coverage was not. Directors & Officers liability was absent entirely. Cyber coverage had a $100K limit against a technology infrastructure that processed $40M in annual credit card transactions. Key man life insurance was structured as a personal policy, not a buy-sell trigger.

Identified Gap

Three critical uninsured or underinsured exposures totaling $12M+ in potential liability

Strategic Resolution

Built a succession-ready coverage architecture from the balance sheet up.

We restructured the entire program: added D&O with $3M limits appropriate to a company of this size, replaced the cyber policy with a $2M technology E&O and cyber combined form, and restructured key man coverage as a properly documented buy-sell agreement trigger. Total premium increased by $42K annually — against $12M+ in newly protected exposure.
