"Working in California HR means navigating constant risk, and having the right partner makes all the difference. Kim at Specialty Risk Management® has been an invaluable resource to me for employee relations, investigations, and compliance guidance. Her expertise, responsiveness, and practical approach have helped me protect the company while also ensuring fair, consistent, and compliant treatment of employees. Whether we’re dealing with harassment concerns, medical or disability issues, terminations, or complex employee complaints, Kim provides clear direction, strong documentation tools, and confidence in decision-making. For an organization of roughly 400 employees in California, SRM® has been key in helping us stay proactive rather than reactive. Their guidance has strengthened our processes, reduced exposure, and supported our leadership team in making sound, defensible employment decisions."

"Specialty Risk Management® should be a vital part of any food operator's insurance portfolio. We experienced a food-borne illness and were completely devastated and lost. Laura and her team from Specialty Risk ManagementSRM® took complete control of the entire situation and guided us through every aspect. They have science, marketing, and restaurant experience. There are so many components to an event of the magnitude of a Salmonella claim. If it weren’t for the team of daily interactions during this time, I have no doubt that it probably would have ultimately caused the company to shut its doors. Not only do I feel that Specialty Risk Management® is important. I feel it’s mandatory for any restaurant."

"I can’t express how wonderful the entire team is at Risk Management®. We started with 20 employees, and now have 150, and they have guided us through various employee issues with efficiency and timeliness. Over the years, several of the Risk Managers have helped me, and they’re all extremely knowledgeable and well-versed in employment law. I have worked directly with Kim, who has been wonderful. I mostly spend time with Laura who I can’t say enough good things about. She has been so helpful on an array of complex employee issues. She has made herself available with speedy responses, and I’ve learned so much over the years through her guidance. I can’t recommend this excellent and knowledgeable team A+ enough!"

"Specialty Risk Management® is an important partner and an extension of our risk management team. Their specialized expertise and 24-hour support guides us on the exact steps to take whenever needed and provides great comfort to me as a risk manager."
