Brown & Brown created the ALIGN process specifically because our clients needed a more data-driven way of purchasing insurance. What once was a commodity has become a major headwind for organizations in the sector. Market conditions, property losses, and the litigious landscape continue to drive rates and impact coverages. With ALIGN, we ensure that our clients are staying ahead of trend and aligning their financial risk tolerance with the right insurance program structure.
