SAYLOR & HILL EXPANDS CAPABILITIES
TO SERVE CLIENTS OPERATING OUTSIDE U.S.
Supporting Firms With An International Presence

OAKLAND, Calif., Oct 17, 2006 – Saylor & Hill, a leading provider of risk management, insurance and employee benefits services, today announced expanded capabilities to serve U.S-based companies with multinational operations.

Through a new partnership with Globex International Group, Saylor & Hill now has the same capabilities as large, multinational insurance brokers to help companies comply with local law and practice. Globex is an international risk management, insurance and employee benefits consultancy firm with a worldwide network of local agents and brokers in more than 100 countries.

Saylor & Hill broadened its service capability in response to growing demand from clients who are opening offices and facilities in other countries to gain a competitive advantage or to serve promising new markets. With Globex acting as local representation, Saylor & Hill can provide clients with expanded international services, including risk analysis and employee benefits assessments.

“Globex’s network of local relationships around the world gives Saylor & Hill the same reach and scope as large, multinational insurance brokers,” said Michael Mirsky, CEO of Saylor & Hill. “Our partnership with Globex will be seamless and will enable our multinational clients to benefit from the same level of service internationally that they are accustomed to receiving domestically."

Jonathan Newton, Managing Director, North American Operations, Globex International Group, said: “Globex works exclusively with Partner brokers who not only meet our standards in terms of size and expertise but also share our customer-driven philosophy towards service. We are convinced that Saylor & Hill, one of the largest independent brokers in Northern California, is a perfect match in all of these categories, and we are very pleased to form this strategic partnership with them.”
