Insurance Brokerage

We specialize in crafting environmental insurance programs to manage risks for a wide variety of businesses. Ranging from mergers and acquisitions, real estate portfolios, mine reclamation, brownfield development, construction or operational industrial risks, our experience and carrier relationships allow us to create insurance programs to cover environmental releases and protect assets.

Risk Management Consulting

Our team of risk management professionals, attorneys and engineers assist in developing programs and procedures to manage business risks that cannot be insured and also can develop procedures and programs that will allow insurance to be obtained. In addition, JCH offers valuable experience and input in areas such as environmental regulations, claims and transactional issues.

 
Federal and State Programs

Our team has experience providing consulting services to the EPA, Department of Defense and Department of Energy. We can transfer that knowledge and experience to clients seeking business opportunities within these programs. Whether it is fixed price contracting or base closure for the Departments of Defense and Energy, or closure and cleanup of EPA regulated sites, our expertise is available to assist clients to achieve their goals. In addition, we’re the leading provider of programs that allow clients to comply with State and Federal financial assurance requirements for mine reclamation liabilities.

Due Diligence

In mergers and acquisitions, due diligence is the phase of the risk management process that is the most critical component of putting a deal together. Due diligence can range from reviewing existing environmental insurance of the company to be acquired, to reviewing technical documents to determine if there is proper characterization of all environmental liabilities Quite often due diligence activities to support acquisitions will be ‘fast tracked’ in order for the buyer to make a decision on whether to move forward with negotiations or not. As a consequence, JCH reviews project documents on an expedited schedule when necessary in order to provide a written summary of the project as quickly as possible. Options for managing environmental liabilities are presented, including preparing a submittal which will be taken to the insurance markets for engineering and underwriting consideration.

 
Claim Services

Where no one expects to have claims, they do happen. It is important to have quick, efficient response and support from your broker when claims occur. At JCH Environmental, our experience and knowledge in handling environmental claims becomes our client’s greatest asset. Our team has experience in supporting our clients when the claim occurs and in the aftermath. In addition to our experience at JCH, our team members have prior insurance carrier experience managing claims and providing executive oversight of claims. We know the process and stand ready to support our clients. Claims service is provided:

  • As a standard component of our service when we place your insurance.
  • On a fee basis for specific claims where the insured was placed by others.

Quality claims support and service, it’s what we do.
