Gallagher's Public Sector and K-12 Education practice leverages its knowledge and expertise to help organizations safeguard public assets, operate efficiently and fulfill their public mandate.
Our insurance, risk management and consulting professionals go beyond the placement of insurance — we collaborate with our clients to create solutions that support their mission and objectives.
The public sector today faces a barrage of risks, from budget constraints and unfunded mandates to issues surrounding cyber security, staffing, employment/hiring processes, liability exposures and more.
With more than 40 years of experience providing brokerage and consulting services to public entities, we understand the complexity of operations and the burgeoning list of exposures. We have expertise in every line of public entity coverage and with every available market worldwide.
That comprehensive knowledge, along with a clear focus to exceed client expectations through high quality service and support — including fee transparency — enables us to help manage your risk so you can focus on the business at hand.
Every day, our public sector insurance and risk management practice works with all types of public entities, K-12 school districts and pools.
