BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

The directory of risk management consultants lists companies that generate at least $100,000 of their gross revenue from pure risk management consulting. Business Insurance defines pure risk management consulting as providing advice on risk management issues on a fee-for-service basis; this excludes activities such as conferences, publishing, claims administration, computer time sharing, consulting for insurers, captive management and employee benefit consulting.

Listings begin with financial/statistical information.

Following is the total number of risk management consulting clients, including the number of association clients and minimum-size client accepted by risk and insurance budget, if applicable.

The next section begins with the year risk management consulting services began, parent company, if applicable, and services.
