What is Best's Insurance Professional Resources?
In 1929, AM Best added Best’s Recommended Insurance Attorneys to its growing number of insurance industry-focused publications. Our founder, Alfred M. Best, started the publication after he had received numerous requests from insurance officials for recommendations of attorneys who could handle insurance-related litigation and legal services. The publication was expanded to include adjusters in 1930, and expert service providers in 1973. Many of our Qualified Members have been part of this resource for over 75 years.
Today, Best’s Insurance Professional Resources features online profiles of our client-recommended Qualified Members, complete with contact information, practice areas and specialties, locations, personnel bios and links to their websites and social media accounts. Our search feature help users easily find the right firm or company to meet their needs, with filters such as practice/specialty area, geographical location or key words.
In addition, our website includes a variety of resources, with claims-related news, webinars, video interviews, Best’s Insurance Law Podcasts and more.
