Lawley General Bio Icon

In the summer of 2018 Lawley is making moves. We are proud to announce that we have landed in 38th place on the top 40 largest independent property/casualty agencies in the country, according to Insurance Journal’s annual list of agency rankings and 51st on the 100 Largest Brokers of U.S. Business released by Business Insurance.

At Lawley, we focus on the customer first – protecting what they’ve worked so hard to build, from homes and automobiles, to families, employees, and businesses. In addition to that, we have adapted and modernized our technology and operations to meet the ever-changing demand of the insurance world.

Bill Lawley Jr., Principal at Lawley, says “Specialization is a major contributor to our success. Several years ago, we decided to form practice groups in various market segments where we had a critical mass of clients and in-house experts. Clients appreciate working with a staff that concentrates exclusively in their organization’s field. We know their everyday challenges, as well as the appropriate insurance coverages and risk management techniques to help them drive down claims and ultimately their cost of risk.”

Other highlights for Lawley in 2018 include:

  • A workers’ compensation alternative for nonprofits where Lawley performs loss control for qualifying organizations at no cost. Additionally, Lawley can place nonprofits with an A+ rated insurance carrier where rates are priced competitively to help them manage their risk at an affordable price.
  • A team of Insurance Consultants specializing in Individual Benefits & Medicare solutions. Adding this team to the Lawley Benefits division means that they can help employers insure their employees and also help individuals and seniors afford the coverage they want at the price they need.
  • “Out of the box” insurance solutions such as “captives” (a type of self-insurance) and cutting-edge benefits technology.

Insurance is a fast-growing field where creativity is key, and staying ahead of the trend is critical. “Our strength comes from our associates. These people live and breathe insurance. To them, helping a client avoid financial hardship, while protecting what they have worked so hard to build, is everything. Just talk to someone on our team and you’ll see the passion and commitment they bring to the insurance industry. We couldn’t be prouder of our associates and teams. They are our greatest asset and the reason we keep moving up on these types of nationally-rated lists,” says Lawley Principal, Mike Lawley.
