CM&F, formerly Cotterell, Mitchell & Fifer, was founded in 1919 as a property/casualty insurance broker in downtown Manhattan. In 1947, CM&F developed the first nursing professional liability policy. This policy would become the foundation of the business today. Over the past 70 years, CM&F has continued to offer healthcare professionals liability insurance protection.

The acquisition by SPG will enable CM&F to focus on expanding its core business by providing operational, HR support, access to markets and expanding its digital footprint.
