To provide company with an addition to its current construction and environmental risk management practice groups

Lawson-Hawks Insurance Associates, an insurance broker based in Mountain View, California, has acquired J6 Insurance Services of Rocklin, California in an asset purchase arrangement.

Lawson-Hawks Insurance has extended its Sacramento presence in the last five years and the acquisition of J6 provides the company not only with an addition to its current construction and environmental risk management practice groups, but also brings LHI some staff and brokers. The J6 operations and industry focus bond with Lawson-Hawks’ current servicing priorities. The assimilation of the veteran dedicated professional staff of the J6 offices provides with an enhancement to LHI’s excellent client servicing capabilities.

Steve Jordan, president and CEO of J6, said: We’re very gratified to join the Lawson-Hawks insurance and risk management team. This union permits us to substantially expand the depth of both our marketing to new prospective clients and servicing of existing client relationships. With Lawson-Hawks, we expect to substantially increase our program and affinity placement and servicing capabilities, while attracting larger middle-market client affiliations. The synergies between the respective companies convince us that this joining is good for our clients, good for the industries we serve and a wonderful opportunity to extend our national footprint into larger businesses with more complicated risk management challenges.
