We manage more than a quarter billion dollars of premiums for a diverse range of clients around the globe.
We are frequently asked what the difference is between an admitted and non-admitted insurance company. Related follow-up questions will often include: Is there a premium savings? Should I be concerned about coverage terms and conditions? Are there tax implications for my business?
In case you missed the news, we’re going to IRMI! The annual Construction Risk Conference kicks off in just a few short days, and we’re so excited to be sending members of the ALS team to Nashville.

Winter will soon be upon us, whether we’re prepared or not. We’ve shared this article about the dangers of improper snow removal for property owners in the past, but as one of the realities of living and doing business in the Northeast, an annual reminder doesn’t hurt.
There are several terms in the insurance industry that frequently are misused or confused. For example, the terms broker and agent are consistently used interchangeably; however, the role of each is very different and important.
With the National Hockey League (NHL) back in full swing, thousands upon thousands of fans will enter the 30 NHL arenas and hear the above phrase. After hearing this several times it will likely become white noise, but this warning is in place for a very specific purpose and failure to warn the attendees could have grave (and expensive!) ramifications.
Some of you may be thinking that it’s far too early to start thinking about the holidays, but the reality is, many of your organizations will be planning holiday parties in the coming weeks.

As a former NCAA golfer and avid golf fan who now manages risk, I couldn’t help but be struck by the similarities between a golf caddie and a risk manager. For those of you who share my love of the game, it’s easy see how managing business risks is not unlike playing a round of golf.

We are looking forward to being part of the action!
