The best technical resources in the industry with a national and global reach.

United Risk works towards global technical completeness in the pursuit of its principal objective of maximizing shareholder value for its partners.

United Risk is independently owned and operated by its practice partners and is affiliated with Applied Underwriters operationally and through its common and powerful brand identity.

In addition to traditional high-quality operational resources, United Risk has access to affiliated insurance and reinsurance capacity as well as exceptional operational resources in the most difficult, critical areas, including: Brand Communications, Government Affairs, Public Relations, Investigations, Cyber Security, Artificial Intelligence, and Software Development.


By uniting real expertise, resources, and capacity together with an ethic that values talent, commitment, and ingenuity, we strive to be the best by making you the best.

Our technical prowess is surpassed only by the independent entrepreneurial spirit of our partners & managers.

Our technical prowess is surpassed only by the independent entrepreneurial spirit of our partners & managers.

Our practice leaders are at the top of their fields technically, but just as exceptional is how they view the world: Nothing energizes them more than a unique opportunity, a contrarian opportunity, or an opportunity others don’t perceive. Nothing frustrates them more than a promising initiative mired in bureaucracy.


We bring exceptional underwriting talent into our culture of shared entrepreneurial spirit and professionalism—to unleash their talent, to solve real problems, to realize success that can’t be attained anywhere else.


Our philosophy is to let them lead autonomously within their specialty, all within a greater organization bound together by loyalty to a common ethos.
