Boston employee-benefits consultant William Gallagher Associates, with Hartford operations, has teamed up with four U.S. regional peers to leverage their services nationwide.
Collaboration Centric Solutions, or C2, is the name for the joint venture between WGA, Pennsylvania’s Kistler Tiffany Benefits, Ohio’s McGohan Brabender, Texas’ MHBT Inc., and Oregon’s The Partners Group, authorities said Thursday.
Combined, the joint venture has 20 U.S. offices and is the fifth-largest independent firm offering employee-benefit products and services, authorities said.
“Independent firms need to be cutting edge and willing to innovate in order to grow, and WGA embraces that model,’’ WGA partner Christopher Nadeau said in a statement. “These firms are all clear leaders in their regions and we are thrilled to be partnering with them.”
The partnership also adds WGA’s offices New York City; Princeton, N.J.; Columbia, Md.; and Atlanta.
