COMPANY OVERVIEW

With our humble beginnings tracing back to 1965 in Franklin, LA, TSL Insurance Group has come a long way to become the regional agency that operates today. Our history includes the merger of two Franklin agencies in 1987 to form the Hebert & Thomson Insurance Agency.

In 1999, John Smith opened the doors to our Lafayette office and in 2004 the addition of Jim Leach gave us Thomson Smith & Leach Insurance Group. In 2005, we further expanded our footprint in the South Central Louisiana region with the acquisition of Marshall and Edwards Insurance Agency in Abbeville and in 2008 the acquisition of Nugier Insurance Agency in Lafayette added to our growing Lafayette office.

In January of 2022 the acquisition of Insurance Associates of Baton Rouge and the merger with Lanoix Insurance Agency expanded our presence in the Baton Rouge area and also gave us a location in the River Parishes.

With our 5 office locations and 60+ employees TSL Insurance Group serves over 10,000 clients personal, business and employee benefits’ needs.

TSL Insurance Group is a locally owned, independent insurance agency providing innovative products, personal and commercial insurance solutions, and an exceptional customer experience. Our mission is to partner with our clients and to be their trusted advisor. We assist them with risk identification and management.

We began our affiliation with the Northlake Insurance Group in 1998. The affiliation with Northlake has afforded us the opportunity to grow our business and partner with the finest insurance companies operating in the state. This has served as a key advantage for our agency.
