Risk Strategies national surety practice leader Brian Whipple said: “Doing surety bonds well, while making the process as friction-free as possible, is a true specialty skill.

“JW Surety Bonds’ deep expertise, experience and client-first approach has made them a national leader in surety, and we’re thrilled to have them join our firm, practice and family.”

The development comes two months after Risk Strategies purchased speciality broker Bullen Insurance.

JW Surety Bonds president and chief underwriting officer JD Weisbrot said: “In the property and casualty world, surety bonds happen to be a niche among niches.

“I started this firm 20 years ago and finding the right partner for our group of companies was paramount to be able to scale and perpetuate our business.

“We saw Risk Strategies as a standout amongst a sea of potential acquiring insurance brokers due to the quality of their leaders, business model and people first mentality.”
