City and County of San Francisco
It has been my experience that Merriwether & Williams fills the role as a professional partner quite well. Our overall organizational wellbeing improved as the result of their participation in projects ranging from Owner Controlled Insurance Programs, to creative coverage vehicles, to internal risk management communication models. I highly recommend this organization in either a broker services or consulting role.

The true value of [their] team has been in the recognition that a project such as Mission Bay is going to be unique, the depth of [their] understanding of risk management issues as they pertain to the construction community, and the use of [their] OCIP experience as the beginning to the process of developing solutions..
