Hylant Group, one of the largest privately held insurance brokerages in the US, has opened a new office in Atlanta.
It will be the fourth office in the southeast of the country and its 16th in total since it was established in Toledo, Ohio in 1935.
Senior Vice President Todd Hugo said: "Hylant is uniquely poised as a privately held organisation to immediately step in and offer professional brokerage and risk management solutions that will strongly support these businesses and exclusively serve their interests."
Todd Hugo and his team see the capability in Atlanta's small, middle and private equity markets.
He said: "Hylant is winning clients with an opposite approach by providing a focus on relationships and local support."
