Higginbotham, the Texas-based insurance brokerage ranked as the 12th-largest broker in the country last year, has added Harmon Dennis Bradshaw Inc., an independent agency in Alabama and Georgia, to its growing list of partner agencies.
Harmon Dennis, known as HDB, has offices in Birmingham, Montgomery, and Troy, Alabama; and in Duluth, Georgia. It was founded in 1977 as The Harmon Agency, and will now be part of the 78-year-old Higginbotham, the companies announced this week. Terms and structure of the deal were not disclosed in a news release.
David Dennis is president of HDB. He said that bringing the two firms together took time because HDB’s leadership team wanted to be sure they were joining a firm that would keep decision-making close to the clients and communities they serve.
The employee-owned Higginbotham has headquarters in Fort Worth and offices across the country, including 15 agencies in Alabama. In 2025, Insurance Journal ranked Higginbotham as the 12th-largest property-casualty agency in the United States, by revenue. Last year, the brokerage reported almost $609 million in property-casualty revenue.
The Alabama move comes two months after Higginbotham acquired Chicago-based Monarch Solutions, an insurance brokerage and financial services firm that focuses on high-net-worth clients.
