Strategic Insurance Partnership Enhances Professional Liability Coverage
FORT WASHINGTON, PA — Patriot Growth Insurance Services, LLC has announced a significant strategic partnership with E.T. Clauss & Co., a fourth-generation insurance firm specializing in legal professional liability coverage. Based in Buffalo, NY, Clauss & Co. brings over a century of industry expertise to the partnership, having been founded in 1919.
Clauss & Co. has established a strong presence in the insurance sector, particularly serving law firms across the United States. The company’s acquisition of Lawyers Insurance Group in 2022 expanded its operations to over 20 states, growing its client base to more than 800 law firms of various sizes. This expansion has positioned Clauss & Co. as a leading provider of legal professional liability insurance.
“We chose to partner with Patriot because we strongly believe in the company’s vision and its unique model of empowering partner agencies with the tools and resources needed to drive continued growth,” said Dieter Clauss, Vice President of Clauss & Co. “Patriot’s collaborative approach, extensive national footprint, and strong industry position made it a clear and strategic fit for our future goals.”
Under the Patriot umbrella, Clauss & Co. will collaborate with Promark Partners, another Buffalo-based Patriot affiliate. This synergy will combine Clauss & Co.’s expertise in legal professional liability with Promark’s specialty in architects and engineers coverage, providing innovative and comprehensive risk management solutions for specialized professional clients.
“We’re excited to welcome Clauss & Co. to the Patriot team,” said Steve Carroll, Chief Acquisition Officer at Patriot. “Clauss has earned a trusted reputation in Buffalo for delivering specialized risk management solutions to their commercial clients. Their expertise, combined with Promark Partners’ current offerings, will enable us to better meet our clients’ needs and expand our presence in Western New York.”
This partnership reflects Patriot’s commitment to enhancing its specialized capabilities while bolstering its national reach and influence in insurance services. The collaboration between Patriot, Clauss & Co., and Promark Partners is poised to deliver enhanced value and innovation for professional clients in niche sectors.
