Shapiro Insurance Group

Shapiro Insurance Group

The Shapiro Insurance Group operates as an agency within Patriot Growth Insurance Services, a larger insurance platform. The firm's founding year is not publicly disclosed, and its principal, Brad Panos, serves as Agency Principal. The group's wealth origin is not attributed to any specific family or fortune; it is a retail insurance agency rather than a family office. The firm's strategy centers on brokering coverage across three broad lines: business insurance (commercial auto, cyber risk, EPLI, D&O, general liability, professional liability, property, workers' compensation), personal insurance (homeowners, auto, flood, umbrella, high-value assets), and specialty lines (yacht, motorcycle, recreational vehicle, classic car). The group works with national and regional carriers but does not disclose specific carrier names. Geographically, the firm operates from Jacksonville, Florida, and its client base is primarily in the United States. The firm's team size and total premiums under management are not publicly disclosed. No additional offices, philanthropic foundations, or adjacent investment vehicles have been identified. The most recent operational event reflected on the firm's website is the ongoing operation of the agency under Brad Panos; no dated events from the last 24 months are otherwise available (firm website, 2026). Shapiro Insurance Group's structural differentiator is its affiliation with Patriot Growth Insurance Services, which provides access to a broader carrier network and compliance infrastructure while allowing the Shapiro brand to operate independently at the local level. This hybrid structure — local agency backed by a national platform — is common in the insurance brokerage industry.
