The Commercial Insurance Services transaction marks the first platform acquisition for AssuredPartners in West Virginia, and is the second acquisition for AssuredPartners in 2014. Earlier this month, it announced acquisitions in Ohio and Virginia.

The agency will continue to operate out of the existing Commercial Insurance Services locations in Charleston and Morgantown, W.Va., under the local leadership of Frank Baer and Raye King White.

Commercial Insurance Services will become the seventh AssuredPartners platform entity, joining Neace Lukens, headquartered in Louisville, Ky.; SKCG, headquartered in White Plains, N.Y.; Jamison, headquartered in West Orange, N.J.; Dawson Companies, headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio; SRA, headquartered in Kansas City, Kan.; and AHM, headquartered in St. Louis, Mo..
