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”.

BRIARCLIFF MANOR, N.Y.—USI Insurance Services L.L.C. said Wednesday that it has acquired the retail property/casualty and employee benefits divisions of Itasca, Ill.-based Euclid Insurance Services Inc. for an undisclosed amount.

Grouped together as the Euclid retail business division, the company's property/casualty and employee benefits segments are expected to contribute about $7.3 million to USI's annual revenue, the Briarcliff Manor, N.Y.-based company said in a statement.

Both units target primarily middle-market companies in the Midwest.

Under the agreement, Euclid will retain its health and life general agency and its commercial managing general agency.

"Euclid retail business is a great complement to our existing presence in the greater Chicago area,” Michael J. Sicard, USI's president and CEO, said the statement.

USI Holding Corp. was the eighth-largest broker of U.S. business, according to the 2011 Business Insurance ranking.
