Our Team
Meet the people behind Walker & Company.

Brett Walker
I founded Walker & Company in 2020 after nearly a decade at Protexure, a Chicago-area lawyers professional liability program. During my time there, I dug into every side of the business, getting to know the law firms I served as well as the carriers and agencies we competed against.
I went out on my own for a simple reason: I knew I could do more for my clients with access to the entire market than I ever could representing a single program. That conviction is still at the heart of how we serve law firms today.
I live in Warrenville, Illinois, where my wife and I spend most of our time breaking up fights between our two kids. In my spare time, I enjoy cooking, doing Napoleon Dynamite impersonations, and riding my bike. Not to brag, but I can even do several of those things at the same time.

Clayton Todd
I'm Co-Founder and Principal at Walker & Company. I began my career in sales at Protexure, a Chicago-area lawyers professional liability program, working on a team led by Brett Walker. Over several years there, I immersed myself in the details of the coverage and the law firms we served, building a deep understanding of both their businesses and the nuances of LPL insurance.
In 2020, Brett invited me to join him as co-founder of a new brokerage dedicated exclusively to lawyers professional liability. Since then, my focus has centered on two priorities: growing our client base and ensuring every client receives an exceptional service experience.
I live in Glen Ellyn, Illinois, with my wife and daughter. Outside of work, you'll find me cheering on the Chicago Bears, out for a walk listening to a good audiobook, or spending time with family and friends.

Joe Wasserman
I'm a Principal in Professional Lines at Walker & Company with more than 13 years of experience helping professional services firms manage their insurance programs, from solo attorneys and mid-size regional practices to top 100 accounting firms.
I spent seven years at Embroker leading the law firm and customer success teams. The part I'm proudest of is the relationships: more than 95% of our clients stayed year after year. I also helped build one of the company's flagship carrier programs.
My approach is consultative and hands-on. I take time to understand the specific risks a firm faces rather than defaulting to a standard package, and I stay involved throughout the policy lifecycle, not just at renewal.
I live in Wheaton, IL, with my wife and our two children. Outside of work, I'm usually roughhousing with my kids, watching college football (Go Blue!), powerlifting in the garage, working on a leatherworking project, or at the lake with my family.
