Guidance for New and Growing Engineering Firms
We work with civil, structural, MEP, environmental, geotechnical, forensic, transportation, and surveying firms. Our advice changes based on the work your firm performs, the contracts you sign, and how your business is growing.
01
Starting a Firm
We help you think through professional liability, contracts, client requirements, and the basic insurance decisions that come with going out on your own.
02
Established Small Firm
We help you review whether your current coverage and contract practices still fit the work your firm is doing today.
03
Growing Firm
We help you plan for new employees, larger projects, added services, and the insurance and risk changes that come with expansion.
What We Help Engineering Firms With
We provide guidance on contracts, professional liability, business insurance, workers’ compensation, cyber risk, and the other coverage needs that come with running an engineering firm.
Thinking About Starting Your Own Engineering Firm?
Going out on your own means taking responsibility for parts of the business you may never have handled as an employee. We guide you through the key decisions to think about before you begin taking on work under your own name.
Our Start a Firm guide covers the business decisions that become your responsibility once you begin working for yourself.
