In order to provide easier access to professional liability insurance, Kent Holland (the editor of this newsletter), has established an independent insurance agency — A/E/C Select, LLC, currently licensed in Virginia, and soon to be licensed along most to the east coast.  The agency will provide risk management services, and will provide access to multiple insurance markets for professional liability insurance.  In addition to publishing a wealth of risk management material at http://www.aecselect.com, the agency will find other innovative ways to use the internet to facilitate insurance transactions and the exchange of information.   Small and midsize firms, in particular, will benefit from obtaining the type of risk management services that have typically been available only for larger firms.
