My Favorite Part of Working Here Is...
"Helping clients when they have a really bad day—we're selling a promise that we'll be there for them; I love fulfilling that promise when clients need us most."
About Mike Royal
A proud "girl dad", former chair of the Georgia Board of Education, and an
advocate for foster kids, Mike offers the perfect mix of expertise, passion,
and a servant-leadership mindset to every relationship.
As a partner, he manages some of the firm's largest client
relationships, mentors rising producers, and plays a key external role through
trade organizations and chambers—always "carrying the flag" in the marketplace.
Mike primarily supports construction-related entities and contractors that rely
heavily on subcontractors, helping them navigate complex coverage, contracts,
and claims.
CLIENT SUCCESS SPOTLIGHT
Mike thrives on stepping into the
middle of complex, high-stakes claims when outside carriers are not doing what
they should for clients. Recently, he helped reopen a denied construction
defect claim and is on track to recover more than one million dollars for a
client, while simultaneously working on another subcontractor-related claim
exceeding five million dollars. In another case, his persistence and policy
fluency ensured a subcontractor's carrier paid a serious injury claim in full,
protecting his contractor client from a devastating loss.
