CG Insurance Group

What CG Insurance Group does

CG Insurance Group, LLC is an independent commercial insurance brokerage headquartered in Baltimore, Maryland, founded in 2010 by Managing Partner Gavi Cohn, a licensed insurance producer since 2001. The firm specializes in placing specialty commercial insurance products for six niche verticals: dental practices, law firms, life sciences companies, technology firms, amusement and rental operators, and firearms industry businesses. Core product offerings span Workers Compensation, Commercial General Liability, Cyber Liability, Property, Umbrella, Directors & Officers Liability, Employment Practices Liability, Business Auto, Crime, Product Liability, Clinical Trials Liability, and Life Insurance, with a flagship dental malpractice program underwritten through The Cincinnati Insurance Companies.

The firm operates a traditional insurance broker/producer model, earning commissions from carriers for placed business. Gavi Cohn services clients directly, leveraging deep industry expertise and an underwriter's perspective to address coverage gaps in industries underserved by generalist brokers. Distribution is sales-led and relationship-driven, supported by a content marketing strategy via the company blog and direct outreach through website quote request forms and phone contact. CG Insurance Group holds producer licensing in 20+ U.S. states, enabling cross-jurisdictional placement for clients with multi-state operations.

The business is privately held and founder-owned with no institutional investors, no outside funding, and no parent company. Headcount is reported at 1-10 employees, consistent with a boutique single-principal brokerage model. There is no proprietary technology platform, mobile application, or API; the technology footprint is limited to a WordPress website with educational blog content. Revenue is quote-based with annual billing cadence and is not publicly disclosed. Customer testimonials skew toward Mid-Atlantic law firms, suggesting a relationship-concentrated book of business anchored in the legal vertical.
