Alera Group, a top independent, national insurance and wealth management firm, today announced the acquisition of Related Risk, a third-party administrator (TPA) that helps insurance companies and employers generate new premiums and profits by accelerating product speed-to-market while ensuring compliance with emerging and evolving statutory disability and paid family leave benefits.

“Under the leadership of Dave and Shep Sepaniak, Related Risk is an exciting addition to Alera Group. We look forward to leveraging their expertise in leave and absence management services across our entire benefits platform. As we work to enhance the experience of our clients, Related Risk’s flexibility, agility and the ability to offer leading edge solutions are a welcome addition,” said Alan Levitz, CEO of Alera Group.

Serving New York, New Jersey and clients nationwide, Related Risk helps enterprises and organizations quickly and seamlessly deploy new products and programs, enter new markets, and expand existing offerings in weeks-to-months instead of months-to-years.
