Higginbotham expands midwest presence with McGohan Brabender

Higginbotham announced an agreement to join forces with McGohan Brabender , an employee benefits company based in Dayton, Ohio with six offices across Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky.

Founded in 1972, McGohan Brabender specializes in employee benefits strategy, consulting, communication, and education. The company became employee owned in 2021.

The partnership expands Higginbotham’s presence in the Midwest and adds employee benefits capabilities across compliance, pharmacy, and self funded insurance. McGohan Brabender clients will also gain access to Higginbotham’s property and casualty, personal lines, and wealth management offerings.

“As we looked at where the industry was headed, we knew we had built something strong that could weather the changes. The challenge was finding a way to offer even more — more opportunity for employees, more support for clients — without losing the culture and ownership philosophy that defines us.” – MB CEO Erick Schmidt.
