PALM BEACH, FL – Smith Brothers Insurance LLC, one of the nation’s top independently operated insurance and risk management firms, today announced the opening of its Palm Beach office at 250 Royal Palm Way.
The location formalizes the client presence the firm has maintained in South Florida for years and will support the full range of Smith Brothers Insurance capabilities, including commercial insurance, employee benefits, retirement services, private client, and private equity.
Situated on Banker’s Row on the island, the office positions Smith Brothers Insurance to serve businesses, investment firms, families, and family offices across the region with the same consultative approach the firm has built over five decades.
“Palm Beach has become a financial hub for successful families, entrepreneurs, investors, and business leaders from around the world. Our Private Client and Private Equity practices are well positioned to serve this financial hub in its rapid economic development,” said Joe B. Smith, President & CEO, Smith Brothers Insurance.
The firm’s Private Equity practice is a natural fit for the market, supporting private equity firms and their portfolio companies with due diligence support, transactional risk solutions, program design, and post-close integration. These capabilities are well suited to a region that has drawn a growing concentration of investment firms and their principals.
The Private Client Group practice is one of the fastest growing areas within Smith Brothers Insurance, and this location will provide local access to specialists who understand complex risk profiles, luxury and coastal properties, fine art and collections, automobiles, yachts, excess liability protection, and the trusts, LLCs, and multigenerational structures that often accompany significant wealth.
“We look forward to being with clients, walking properties, and meeting with their attorneys and wealth advisors. This geographic expansion is about deepening relationships and being an active part of the community,” said Mike Kelly, Partner and Private Client Group Practice Leader at Smith Brothers Insurance.
