Alera Group Expands Chicago Presence with Alper Services Acquisition

Alera Group, a national employee benefits, property casualty, retirement services and wealth management firm, announced today that it has acquired Alper Services LLC, effective August 1, 2020.

Founded in 1966, Alper Services focuses on providing innovative insurance solutions which minimize risk, protect assets and reduce liabilities for clients throughout the Midwest and Chicagoland area.

“The Alper Services team, led by Leslie Morse, is a strong addition to Alera Group’s presence in Chicago and throughout the Midwest,” said Alan Levitz, CEO of Alera Group. “Alper has built a terrific brand and reputation because of the great people inside the organization and their risk management expertise.  It is a pleasure to welcome them to Alera Group knowing that they will bring great value to our collaborative culture.”
