About Steve Sawyer

I have 40 years of experience with Woodruff Sawyer working with Life Science, Technology, Internet and Clean Tech clients. I launched the firm’s Life Science practice nearly 30 years ago, which is one of the country’s largest in that field.Within my role as a Property and Casualty Advisor for Woodruff Sawyer, I bring my clients not only my 40 years of industry experience, but also the combined experience and hands-on service of the Woodruff Sawyer team and senior experts. Together, we work to cover our clients’ exposures with services in: Property Casualty Errors & Omissions Cyber LiabilityLoss Control Workers’ Compensation Environmental LiabilityAviation International Risk Management Surety & BondingBusiness Continuity Planning CaptivesWe have over 100 markets that we work with, which enable us to fit the client with the right coverage suited to their particular risk. Your business risks are complex. We untangle, advise, and solve for you.A growing problem among organizations is having to keep up with the ever-increasing demands of the various laws and requirements mandated by regulators. Many struggle with understanding and properly maintaining Workers’ Compensation Insurance, for example. Required by individual states, it can be extensively complex. Rather than expend the organization’s efforts, smart companies leverage Woodruff Sawyer’s expertise in crafting creative solutions. We also protect clients’ bottom lines by aligning their risk management strategy with their overall business strategy. I work diligently as part of the team, advocating for our clients every step of the way. When you have a claim, you speak to a Woodruff Sawyer advisor that is familiar with your industry, not someone in an offshore call center. This approach has earned Woodruff Sawyer a “World-Class” rating for service by the Net Promoter Survey® (NPS), putting us on par with top U.S. companies in delivering exceptional customer experiences.Please review the multimedia below for more insight.Specialties: Directors & Officers Liability | Workers Compensation | Cyber Liability
