TF steps up: merger with HRH creates
one of the nation's largest Managed Risk firms

In a move that generates far-reaching advantages for current and future clients, Thilman Filippini announced it has merged with Hilb Rogal & Hobbs (HRH), now the nation's eighth-largest brokerage and risk consulting firm. The combined organization will operate in 125 cities nationally with annual revenues exceeding $670 million.

Thilman Filippini will retain its name, management structure, practice areas and staffing while adding a broad base of new HRH resources and available expertise.

Key executives emphasized the profound philosophic and client-service affinities of TF and HRH. "We're thrilled to find a partner (in HRH) where our business philosophies are so well aligned at every level," said John Atkinson, a Managing Partner of TF.

Both firms were created in the early 80's and have pioneered an aggressive Managed Risk approach to property casualty insurance and employee benefits-plan design.

"It's an exciting day for TF … and for our clients," said Tom Thilman.

"We'd been looking for a partner to take that next step," he said, "but we wanted a firm with the commitment to continue our 'best in class' service. We have found such a partner in HRH."
