21 Aug A Relationship-First Approach to Comprehensive Insurance
Insurance moves quickly. Your clients need answers, and finding the right market can sometimes be a challenge. When that happens, the relationship you have with your wholesale partner can make a real difference.
At Lane & Associates, we’ve built our business around strong partnerships with retail agents. Since 1985, we’ve worked to provide the expertise, personal attention and quick service agents need to confidently serve their clients.
That starts with getting to know the people we work with.
Good Business Starts With Strong Relationships
The more we understand your agency, the better we can support it. Over time, we become familiar with the types of accounts you write and the challenges you encounter. We learn what you need from us and how we can help when an opportunity comes your way.
With more than 175 years of combined industry experience, our team brings extensive knowledge to each relationship. We pair that experience with an approachable, hands-on style of service. Our goal is to make it easier for agents to navigate complex insurance needs and continue growing their business.
Understanding the Risk Behind the Submission
A submission gives us the details of an account, but working closely with our agents helps us understand the bigger picture. There may be recent changes to the business, improvements that affect the risk or circumstances that deserve a closer look. Those conversations can help our underwriters better understand what an agent is trying to accomplish for their client.
Because we take the time to build relationships with our agents, those conversations come naturally. Agents can reach out with questions, provide additional insight and work directly with our team to explore available options.
That hands-on approach is part of the service Lane & Associates has provided for decades. We bring experience and market knowledge to the table while staying accessible throughout the process. The result is responsive support that helps agents keep business moving forward.
Finding Coverage That Fits
Strong relationships become even more valuable when they give agents access to solutions for their clients. Lane & Associates offers a broad range of insurance products, including specialized coverage for risks that may be difficult to place in the standard market.
Our capabilities include:
- Commercial Property and General Liability: Coverage options for a wide variety of commercial accounts and exposures.
- Artisan Contractors and Garage Liability: Solutions for businesses with needs specific to their operations.
- Oil & Gas: Coverage options backed by experience with risks found throughout the Gulf South.
- Specialty Coverage: Access to markets for Special Events, Professional Liability, Personal Umbrella and other specialty risks.
When you bring an account to Lane & Associates, our team uses its market knowledge and experience to help identify available options. Our goal is to give retail agents access to quality insurance products while providing the support they need throughout the process.

Markets change and your clients’ needs change too. Through it all, having people you know on the other end of the phone can make your job a little easier.
