Who We Help
ACCEL Law Group advises in the purchase and sale of the following types of insurance intermediaries:
- Insurance Agencies and Brokers
- Managing General Agents (MGA)
- Program Administrators
- Third-Party Administrators and Claims Adjusters
- Captive Managers
- Registered Investment Advisors*
* As insurance intermediaries increasingly integrate wealth management services with their traditional insurance offerings, the acquisition of Registered Investment Advisor firms by insurance intermediaries is becoming common. ACCEL Law Group has handled several transactions on both the buy side and sell side for these types of RIA transactions.

The ACCEL Law team has seen these across insurance deals of all shapes and sizes and can help you identify matters needing attention, and can help address them efficiently… before they become problems.
