EPIC Insurance Brokers & Consultants, a retail property and casualty insurance brokerage and employee benefits consultant, announced today the launch of Private Equity Employee Benefits, a specialized group dedicated solely to serving Private Equity and Alternative Asset Management firms and their portfolio companies. Led by industry veterans Larry Kirshner and Ryan Dwyer, the team will be part of EPIC’s Financial Services division under Philip V. Moyles, Jr.
The new group will offer clients an exceptional depth of knowledge, industry-leading analytics, best-in-class M&A due diligence reporting, and dedicated teams experienced in servicing the demanding and fast-growing alternative asset management space.
Ryan Dwyer has managed an Atlanta-based team for many years, focusing on large employers primarily owned by prominent Private Equity (PE) firms. The specialty group has developed an industry-respected financial model that focuses on bringing efficiencies to employer programs, tracking results with comprehensive analytics, and providing leading-edge reporting to their respective PE owners.
Larry Kirshner has spent the last 20 years building a highly successful benefits practice in the Northeast. Since 2019, Larry has worked directly with EPIC’s Financial Services team as the Northeast Employee Benefits Practice Leader for Private Equity and Alternative Asset Management firms, building out M&A due diligence capabilities, establishing relationships with mid-market PE firms, and growing revenue specifically related to Private Equity transactions. Larry is supported by a team dedicated to all phases of the account acquisition process, from due diligence through post-transaction.
“With deep relationships and decades of experience in their respective markets, these teams fit together in a way that positions EPIC’s Financial Services division for accelerated growth and collective success,” said Philip V. Moyles, Jr., Chief Growth Officer and President of EPIC’s Financial Services division. “Combining these two complementary teams allows us to successfully compete on all types of opportunities related to private equity-owned businesses.”
