 We focus our energies on the pursuit of these specific objectives:

• Delivering insurance products that will reduce your exposure to loss, controlling your costs of insurance, and providing you “Risk Management Services”, not found through other insurance agents.

•  A thorough understanding of your practice and its unique challenges.

• Development and maintenance of strong relationships with insurance markets for your benefit.  Our relationships with company underwriters and claims personnel are founded in confidence and trust.  As a result, we enjoy a high degree of credibility, and our clients benefit greatly from this.

Shipley & Associates enjoys a superior reputation

 in the design community and among the insurance carriers that we represent. 

Mr. Shipley is a founding member and the National Treasurer of a/e ProNet, a national organization of insurance brokers specializing in professional liability for the design community.
