About Walker & Company

Our story

Built around one specialty

Walker & Company was founded in 2020 with a clear mission: give law firms better options when it comes to professional liability insurance. Based in Illinois and serving firms across the country, we saw too many attorneys offered limited choices by brokers who didn't understand their practice or bother to shop around.

We don't try to be everything to everyone. Our focus is lawyers professional liability — and that focus means we know the market, the carriers, and the nuances of legal risk better than a generalist broker ever could.

We've grown by sticking to one simple goal: know the market, represent our clients' best interests, and make the process easy from start to finish.
