EPIC Insurance Inks Agreement to Provide Risk Management for Miami Dolphins, Stadium

EPIC Insurance Brokers & Consultants, headquartered in San Francisco, is now the official provider of risk management services for the Miami Dolphins football team and Hard Rock Stadium.

The deal, announced Thursday, will not put the EPIC patch on the Dolphins’ jerseys, as Starr Insurance did with the New York Yankees, nor will it mean a field logo, as Shelter Insurance arranged with the University of Missouri Tigers. But it will generate some visibility for EPIC at Dolphins charity gatherings, including Dolphins Fins Weekend, a fishing event in June, and the Dolphins Cancer Challenge, a fundraiser. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

EPIC, which provides property casualty coverage, specialty insurance and employee benefits nationwide, said it offers comprehensive insurance and risk plans for sports and entertainment organizations. For the Dolphins and the stadium, this includes property and casualty, workers’ compensation, executive risk insurance, media liability and cyber security protection.

“For large sports organizations like the Miami Dolphins and state-of-the-art venues like Hard Rock Stadium, effective risk management is critical to protecting both operations and enterprise value,” said Tod Swanson, entertainment and sports practice leader for EPIC. in a press release.

EPIC, founded in 2007, has seen a sharp growth curve over the past five years, with revenue rising from $300 million to more than $1 billion, the company said. This week, the brokerage announced that it has continued its expansion by acquiring Phillips Bros. Insurance Agency, a 150-year-old Chicago firm specializing in personal and commercial property casualty coverage.
