WHAT WE STAND FOR
PILLAR 1: COLLABORATION
Our goal is to create a circle of colleagues and friends from corporations, insurance companies, law firms and business partners who work together in the defense, liability, insurance, risk and claim space. Our space will be an informal environment filled with creative ideas, questions & answers and cutting edge topics. We want to like who we work with right?
PILLAR 2: IN HOUSE COLLABORATOR

PILLAR 3: INSURANCE COLLABORATOR
