Company Profile

International Risk Management Institute, Inc. (IRMI), was founded in 1978 to provide important risk and insurance information to business, legal, risk management, and insurance professionals. In the years since it was founded, IRMI has published the most comprehensive library (45,000+ pages) of practical manuals, books, and newsletters available. IRMI also sponsors seminars and conferences, and the annual IRMI Construction Risk Conference is the premier national symposium devoted exclusively to the management of construction risks. To maintain objectivity and avoid conflicts of interest in its research, IRMI does not offer insurance sales, consulting, expert witness, underwriting, or similar services.

The overriding IRMI editorial philosophy is to stay out of the ivory tower and give you practical information you can use. For this reason, our speakers and contributing authors are usually well-known industry practitioners, and our research staff has many years of insurance and risk management experience. IRMI research analysts take great pride in their meticulously detailed approach to each topic they tackle. For example, they don't just paraphrase policy language; they interpret and explain it. And they don't stop with the standard policy forms; they summarize, analyze, and compare the many variations included in company-developed forms as well as manuscript forms and endorsements. IRMI analyses are so reliable and complete that its publications have been cited as authorities by many appellate courts.

Our product line addresses virtually all facets of insurance and risk management. The Commercial Lines Library analyzes general liability, umbrella liability, business auto, motor carrier, commercial property, inland marine, commercial crime, D&O liability, E&O liability, employment practices liability, and malpractice liability insurance. The IRMI Risk Management Library addresses risk financing and the alternative market, contractual risk transfer, workers compensation law, safety, and claims management. Other IRMI books and references focus on insurance coverage case law developments, specific risk management techniques and practices, risk and insurance developments and trends, and risk management for specific industries. The references comprising these libraries are available in various printed and electronic formats, both individually and in sets.

Our subscriber family is comprised of thousands of insurance agents and brokers, risk managers, adjusters, underwriters, premium auditors, consultants, and attorneys. Most of the "Fortune 1000" corporations, many of America's governmental subdivisions, all the major brokers, the largest insurers, and the most successful independent agencies rely on IRMI references. Over the years, thousands of insurance and risk management professionals from around the world have attended IRMI seminars and conferences. While our subscriber family is largely U.S.-based, IRMI has many supporters in Canada, Europe, Latin America, Japan, South Africa, and other parts of the world.

In summary, IRMI is committed to providing you with practical and up-to-date information that can help you succeed in your career and guaranteeing these products with friendly, state-of-the-art customer service.
