Grant Adams
General counsel | ProAg Management
One of the industry’s fastest growing crop insurers, ProAg takes the unique approach of solely servicing agents and farmers. A ‘thought leader’ and rare national ‘specialist’ in this highly-regulated field, Grant Adams has handled considerable change and growth at ProAg, since becoming its first general counsel in 2007. The company’s premium value tripled during his first two years, requiring Adams to develop a legal function capable of handling the diverse issues this created. ‘Grant faced a number of significant challenges,’ says one private practice source. ‘Not the least of which was building a legal department from the ground up in a way that engendered trust and co-operation from his internal clients and management’. Adams speaks regularly at industry events.
