Our Story
Family-Owned Since Day One
For nearly 60 years, we have helped our clients take the guesswork out of insurance by making the process as simple, efficient and painless as possible. Founded in 1962 by Sam Seligman, Seligman Insurance was established to meet the needs of growing families, professionals and businesses in the GTA. In 1982 Sam’s son, Peter Seligman, joined the company, followed in 2014 by Peter’s son-in-law, Jeff Bernstein.
We know how many priorities you are juggling in everyday life as we too are parents, grandparents, children and entrepreneurs. That’s why our business is personal; we take the time to get to know you. When you work with us, you will feel secure knowing that you have the best plan in place to protect you, your family and your business today, tomorrow and for generations to come.

How it Works
The Seligman Difference
We’ve been doing this for a really long time.
For three generations and nearly 60 years, we’ve been committed exclusively to providing custom insurance solutions for our clients. Helping people protect what they care about most and building their legacies is our life’s work.
We go to bat for you like few others will.
No issue is too complex for us to explore. We pre-underwrite all complicated situations to help place your case as favourably and quickly as possible. This results in fewer declines and more satisfied clients – every time.
Our stack is unparalleled.
We invest in process and technology to bridge the worlds of yesterday and tomorrow. From digital applications to video reviews to underwriting updates via text messaging, we make the insurance buying process a little more convenient and enjoyable (let’s be honest: no one enjoys buying insurance). Robust contact management software means we never miss an important date or opportunity for you to take advantage of.
We only work with the best to bring you the best.
We recommend best-in-class solutions from both niche providers and blue-chip, industry leaders. We source the best products and work with top service leaders to design the best insurance solutions for your needs.
