Specialty: Lawyer's Professional Liability
A firm believer in the importance of teamwork, Scott Ammer strives to forge strong relationships with all underwriters. “Bo Schembechler, head coach of Michigan football for 30 years, always said, ‘It’s not the individual, the all-American, the great catch or the open field tackle. It’s the team, the team, the team,’” Ammer says. “I have one of the best teams in the industry.”
In 2001, Ammer entered the insurance world as an underwriting trainee for specialty lines at Philadelphia Insurance, where he worked his way up before being asked to join his largest retail client, HUB International, as a producer in 2004. There, Ammer led the lawyers’ professional liability book and a team of seven brokers. “I’ve always enjoyed working with lawyers,” he says. “My underwriting team at PHLY did not have anyone underwriting LPL. I jumped at the opportunity.”
In 2007, Ammer was asked to create a wholesale book of lawyers’ professional liability by a former co-worker who had been recently been promoted to profit center leader at ECC Insurance Brokers. “Starting a ground-up book of business is never easy,” Ammer says. “However, maintaining contacts throughout the country assisted in building the foundation of a strong practice. With 10 years now at ECC, I assist in mentoring our broker in training program and continue to strive for
excellence on our team.”
