About This Episode
In our last Pro Series interview, we spoke with HUB International’s TJ Frost, a practice leader who helped to establish HUB’s full-service cannabis vertical to gain insights about insurance in the cannabis industry and how he works with cannabis companies to design customized risk services, claims management, and compliance support solutions to meet their needs. In this interview, we delve into another aspect of HUB International’s cannabis vertical – Management and Professional Liability with HUB Colorado Vice President, Patrick Ryder, who works closely with executive leaders in the cannabis industry.
As an increasing number of states move to legalize cannabis, new and established cannabis enterprises face more and more competition to secure market share and attract enough talent meet the demand of a growing consumer base. They also face greater risks, which requires scalable insurance solutions that protect stakeholders from liabilities that are unique to this industry and provide security for their workforce. These protections also help to attract and retain talented employees in this competitive industry.
HUB International is one of the few major insurance brokers that provides an array of insurance options for cannabis companies. Having developed an entire vertical serving the cannabis sector, HUB International now serves cannabis industry clients in 33 states, throughout Canada and other countries around the world where cannabis is legal.
