Alliant Insurance Services Appoints Justin Sorensen as Executive Vice President

Alliant Insurance Services has announced the appointment of Justin Sorensen, ARM, as executive vice president in its Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) practice. This strategic move aims to enhance the firm's advisory services for transaction-related risk and insurance across the United States. Sorensen, based in Chicago, will focus on advising clients on risk management and insurance strategies within the context of mergers, acquisitions, and other corporate transactions. His responsibilities encompass commercial property and casualty insurance, employee benefits, and strategic advisory services to assist organizations in managing complex business deals.

Sorensen brings over 20 years of experience in the risk management and insurance industry. He has served a diverse clientele, including Fortune 500 companies, private equity firms, venture-backed businesses, and multinational corporations. His expertise lies in creating insurance and risk management programs that align with operational and financial objectives, as well as transaction strategies.

Michael Cusack, president of Alliant Property & Casualty, emphasized Sorensen’s ability to integrate commercial insurance, employee benefits, and strategic advisory services. Cusack noted that Sorensen's career has been dedicated to devising tailored risk solutions to meet clients' specific business needs. He believes that Alliant’s resources and collaborative environment will further benefit the firm’s national M&A platform.

Before joining Alliant, Sorensen held senior roles at leading global insurance brokerage firms, providing guidance on risk management and insurance matters related to corporate transactions. He holds an Associate in Risk Management (ARM) designation, a Bachelor’s degree from Loyola University Chicago’s Quinlan School of Business, and a Master of Science from Colorado Technical University.

This appointment underscores the growing demand for specialized insurance advisory services as mergers and acquisitions become increasingly complex. Organizations engaged in acquisitions, private equity, and strategic transactions require comprehensive insurance, employee benefits, and risk management strategies. These strategies are essential for identifying potential liabilities, supporting due diligence, and ensuring successful post-transaction integration.

Alliant Insurance Services delivers commercial insurance, employee benefits, and risk management services through its extensive nationwide network. The firm continues to expand its specialty services by recruiting skilled professionals who help clients navigate the evolving landscape of business, regulatory, and transaction risks.
