Mountain View, Calif.-based Lawson-Hawks Insurance Associates, an insurance intermediary and broker, has added Laura Ramsey as vice president of Private Client Services. She will be responsible for growing the new division and determining both the markets and strategies capable of addressing those esoteric risks.
“The new division of Lawson-Hawks, headed by Ms. Ramsey, will endeavor to provide thorough competence in covering the risks that, while somewhat rare, are of substantial financial importance and sufficiently unique in their characterization that traditional ‘off-the-shelf’ insurance contracts may not provide all the protection or risk aversion options necessary,” said John Miller, CEO.
“As Lawson-Hawks has continued its sustained growth in all facets of the insurance and risk management industries, we have determined to commit to a division that delivers exemplary service and highly unique products to our most affluent clients,” he explained. “While we have maintained a personal lines division for over seventy years, we have now resolved to expand the Agency’s capabilities to address the esoteric and unusual risks that are often associated with our most discriminating and financially comfortable clients. We expect the service for virtually all of our clients to be above reproach — Private Client Services simply carries that mantra further so that those with unusual and extraordinary personal possessions, collections and real estate have a specialized advocate and service provider at their disposal.”
Ramsey has been an insurance broker for more than 12 years. Prior to her assuming her role at Lawson-Hawks, she was affiliated with InsPro in Sunnyvale and San Jose, Calif.
