Lawley, an independent family-owned insurance broker and employee benefits firm, is proud to announce the promotion of Steve Paris to partner. Paris will lead Lawley’s office located in Uniondale, NY. In his most recent position as Insurance Advisor, Paris played a vital role in Lawley’s growth by fostering business relationships and helping companies identify and reduce the direct and frictional expenditures with their total cost of risk.

Paris possesses vast skill in developing client relationships, providing tailored solutions, and is a construction insurance specialist. As partner, Paris will concentrate on business development, key leadership initiatives, and mentoring new consultants while continuing to advise on risk management. One of Paris’ primary goals will be to grow Lawley’s presence in the New York metropolitan area.

Prior to Lawley, Paris worked as a Risk Advisor for BNC Insurance & Risk Advisory. Paris has been with Lawley for over six years, holds a NYS Life, Accident, & Health License, and a NYS Property & Casualty Brokers License.

Paris graduated from Ithaca College with a bachelor of science degree and attended the Aetna Commercial Insurance School. Paris is affiliated with the Long Island Builders Institute (LIBI), the New York State Builders Association (NYSBA), and is involved with the New York Blood Center.

“By being a part of Lawley for over six years, I’ve been able to assist many clients with risk mitigation and assessments. I’m looking forward to moving into a partner role where I’ll be able to make a larger impact on both clients and the Lawley organization,” Paris said.

“Promoting Steve to partner assists Lawley in achieving the goal of offering the best risk management solutions to our clients. He has been a true asset to the team and we’re looking forward to the impact he’ll make as partner,” says Christopher Ross, Principal of Lawley.
