Chicago, IL – 9.9.2025 – BCU Risk Advisors, a boutique personal insurance consulting firm specializing in high-net-worth individuals and families, today announced the launch of its Family Office Practice, a dedicated platform that builds on nearly two decades of experience serving some of the country’s most successful families.
For more than 18 years, BCU has had the privilege of helping families protect what matters most with discretion, precision, and care. Over that time, the firm has naturally become a trusted partner to family offices, delivering bespoke, high-touch service that has long defined its client relationships. The new Family Office Practice is less about changing direction and more about formalizing a commitment - bringing greater structure, enhanced resources, and expanded tools designed specifically to align with the way family offices operate.
“Family offices need more than an insurance broker - they need a partner who understands the nuances of wealth, legacy, and lifestyle,” said Chelsey Rabalais, Partner at BCU Risk Advisors. “With this new practice, we’re simply putting more definition around the way we’ve already been serving family offices for years. Our goal is to give families a higher level of structure, support, and resources - so they can focus on the future with confidence.”
Jeff Cline, Partner & Co-Founder of BCU Risk Advisors, added: “Our Family Office Practice is the natural evolution of BCU’s concierge model. We’ve worked with family offices for years, but this platform ensures we deliver even greater efficiency, transparency, and value. By integrating seamlessly with family office staff, estate attorneys, and wealth managers, we help simplify the complexity of multi-generational planning.”
The Family Office Practice is designed as a private concierge for every dimension of personal risk. From comprehensive risk reviews and discreet integration with family office operations to white-glove claims advocacy, clients experience a seamless, elevated standard of service. Exclusive resources - including BCU’s Little Blue Book and its Next Gen Insurance 101 program - further enrich the experience. And yet, these are only the first touches of a platform built to anticipate needs before they arise. While no two families engage in the same way, the outcome is consistent: confidence that risks are managed with the same care and discretion that guide their financial and legacy planning. Bruce Billmeyer, Partner & Co-Founder of BCU Risk Advisors, noted: “The families we serve are looking for independence and trust in an advisor who doesn’t answer to shareholders. This practice reflects our unwavering commitment to put clients first—designing bespoke solutions that preserve wealth and minimize risk for generations to come.”
With the launch of its Family Office Practice, BCU Risk Advisors reaffirms its role as a trusted partner to the country’s most successful families. This new platform marks the next chapter in BCU’s nearly two decades of growth, underscoring its independence and unwavering dedication to clients. By combining experience, discretion, and concierge-level service, BCU continues to deliver on its mission: protecting what matters most today while building resilience for generations to come.
