The firm will now operate as "Greyling Insurance Brokerage -- a Division of EPIC."
"The addition of Greyling's David Collings, Gregg Bundschuh, Bob Staed and their capable team of insurance and risk management specialists is an exciting way to further build EPIC's commitment to industry specialization on a national level," said EPIC co-founder and CEO John Hahn.

The addition of Greyling will add top professionals with insurance, legal, and engineering backgrounds.
"Greyling and EPIC share many values and practices in common and all of us are committed to perpetuating a culture that rewards innovation, teamwork and absolute client satisfaction," said Greyling co-founder David Collings.
Added co-founder Gregg Bundschuh, "As a division of EPIC, we will have greater access to experienced professionals in multiple disciplines, broad resources, additional capital and extensive insurance company relationships - all to supplement our own outstanding people and resources for the benefit of our clients."
Said Derek Thomas, EPIC's Chief Strategy Officer and co-leader of the firm's Specialty Practice and Program Group, "The addition of the Greyling team strengthens EPIC's national platform serving architects and engineers, environmental firms, the construction industry and other professional service firms.
