At Ames & Gough, our professional staff has worked for architect and engineer professional liability insurers, served as general counsel for architects and engineers, served on the boards of major architect/engineer firms, and is widely published on architect/engineer risk management issues. We serve dozens of the ENR Top 500 firms. No other broker can match our partners' combined years of architect/engineer professional liability insurance and risk management experience.
This experience, when combined with our CLIENT FIRST approach to service, is why Ames & Gough is the leading national insurance broker and risk management consulting firm dedicated to serving architects and engineers. The average Ames & Gough partner has more than 26 years of experience, most of it specific to the risks you face.
The scope, dedication, and responsiveness of Ames & Gough's professional services are unmatched. That's why our annual client retention rate is so exceptional. Our focus is on understanding your business and helping you manage risk in a way that increases your firm's success and profitability. Our services include:
- negotiation and placement of integrated, cost-effective property, casualty, and professional liability insurance programs; and
- in-depth risk management and loss prevention analysis and training.
Much of what differentiates us from other brokers involves our industry-specific risk analysis and loss prevention.
