Regional Insurance Broker Enhances Small Business Insurance and Employee Benefits Departments To Build On Previous Success Of Helping Small to Medium Businesses Properly Protect Themselves And Their Employees

Buffalo, NY May 7, 2015 Lawley, a Top 100 Insurance and Employee Benefits broker, in conjunction with Small Business Week, today announced the launch of Lawley Small Business, a department solely focused on the specific insurance and employee benefits needs of small and medium businesses (SMBs). While Lawley has already been highly successful in this market across New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, the new division is dedicated to meet the ever-increasing technology demands of smaller companies with how they manage their unique insurance and employee benefits needs.

Our small business team, following the mantra “Small business is a big deal at Lawley,” will focus on providing consultative and business insurance solutions by individually assessing the needs and risks of each prospective and/or current client in offices across the East Coast. Additionally, a dedicated, highly-experienced employee benefits specialist will work with company leadership to recommend employee benefits solutions for organizations this size, including Lawley Marketplace, an online private benefits exchange perfect for this segment of business.

“Small to medium businesses are a cornerstone of our economy. We want to help business owners make informed decisions on how to protect their assets, investments and employees, so they can focus on what is important – running their business,” said Sherry Ford, director of business insurance. “By helping our customers sleep easier at night knowing their small business is properly protected, we want to help see them grow as much as they do. If we can make one part of their business easier, we’ve succeeded.”

The Small Business division will be led by teams of business insurance and employee benefits consultants experienced in working with and servicing small and medium-sized companies, along with having strong relationships with top national insurance companies who specialize in providing coverage to small businesses.

“We look forward to this energetic small business insurance team building upon new and existing client relationships and thereby positively impacting the economic vitality of the communities Lawley serves across New York, New Jersey and Connecticut,” shared Bill Lawley Jr., principal.
