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”.

New York-based financial services holding company Ambac Financial Group Inc. said Tuesday it has acquired majority stakes in All Trans Risk Solutions LLC, a managing general underwriter, and Capacity Marine Corp., a wholesale and retail brokerage.

Terms of the transactions were not disclosed.

Mahwah, New Jersey-based All Trans has 10 employees and Capacity Marine, also based in Mahwah, has five employees, all of whom will be joining Ambac, a spokeswoman said via email.
