Boutique Insurance Expertise Backed by Generations of Trust

Founded on the belief that not all insurance is created equal, J.W. Allen has spent nearly a century delivering independent, tailored solutions for discerning individuals and family offices.

The J.W. Allen Difference

Objective Advice

We advise every client as we would our own relative or closest friend.

Unmatched Service

We strive to manage every account with the care, foresight and depth that one might expect from a dedicated personal risk manager.

Superior Execution

We pride ourselves on our creativity, savviness and ability to leverage our underwriter relationships to harness the best possible insurance terms for our clients.

Elite Agency Designation

J.W. Allen has received Chubb's Cornerstone Elite Agency designation–an honor awarded to the top 1% of agents–every year since 2007. This distinction gives our clients access to exclusive resources, senior support staff, and elite claims service. 

Our History

J.W. Allen was founded in New York City in 1928 by John W. Allen. Hendrian & Hendrian was founded in New York City in 1917 by Otto A. Hendrian. In 2006, Marshall Hendrian and Robert Lawrence merged the two firms. Today, under their leadership, J.W. Allen provides the same boutique service and high standards that defined both firms for nearly a century.
