Comprehensive Protection With Insurance Architects in Ohio
Since 1923, Fenner & Esler has specialized in safeguarding design professionals through dedicated advocacy and specialized industry knowledge. Now a part of HUB International, we combine the personalized service of a boutique agency with the extensive resources of a global leader to support over 1,250 firms nationwide.
Tailored Policies for Modern Design Practices
Every architectural project carries unique exposures, making generic off-the-shelf policies inadequate for modern firms. We work closely with your practice to craft customized policies that reflect your specific project history, staff size, and operational scope.
Independent Market Access and Flexibility
Our independent status allows us to survey multiple top-tier carriers on your behalf, ensuring you receive comprehensive coverage without paying for unnecessary extras or rigid mandates.
Navigating Liability Pressures Across the State
In a litigious business climate, even minor miscommunications can escalate into costly disputes. Relying on personal savings or company reserves to defend against allegations is a significant risk that no architectural practice should take.
Mitigating Claims of Professional Negligence
Allegations regarding design errors, omissions, or breach of contract can surface years after project completion. Maintaining continuous coverage ensures your firm is able to protect against claims of negligence effectively.
Securing Defense Funding and Settlement Support
We assist your practice in securing robust legal defense funding and settlement support from A-rated carriers who understand the technical realities of the architectural profession.
