YA Group Strengthens Market Position with J.M. Reagan Consulting Acquisition

On December 15, 2025, YA Group (YA), a leader in building consulting and forensic engineering services, revealed its strategic acquisition of J.M. Reagan Consulting (JMR), a prominent multidisciplinary firm specializing in property damage consulting and construction claims. This significant move not only enhances YA's footprint in Texas but also bolsters its ability to provide comprehensive services to clients within the insurance industry.

J.M. Reagan Consulting, founded in 2017 and based in Houston, Texas, is recognized for its expertise in property damage consulting, construction claims management, program project management, and dispute resolution tailored to the needs of insurance carriers. As JMR’s team integrates into YA’s Construction Consulting practice, both firms expect to leverage their strengths to improve service delivery and client satisfaction.

Justin Kapisak, President of Construction Consulting at YA Group, expressed enthusiasm about the acquisition, stating, "The addition of JMR expands our reach in the southern part of the U.S. and deepens our capabilities across the region." He added that JMR's reputation for quality work resonates with YA’s values, positioning them better to serve clients effectively nationwide.

Morgan Reagan, President of JMR, also highlighted the benefits of the merger, remarking, "YA is the ideal partner for JMR's next chapter. Our firms share the same values of integrity, collaboration, and excellence. This partnership allows us to leverage YA's national platform and comprehensive services while continuing to deliver the high-quality work our clients expect."

The acquisition provides JMR's clients with access to YA’s extensive suite of services, which includes builder's risk, pre-loss assessment, clerking, and surety, alongside a broad array of forensic engineering and architectural offerings. This alliance promises to enhance the overall value proposition for clients who require swift and effective solutions in property damage and construction claims.

This deal comes on the heels of YA Group's previous growth milestone, marked by an investment from THL Partners, a leading private equity firm. With a focus on the insurance services and technology sectors, THL Partners’ backing has set the stage for this latest acquisition, which was officially finalized on December 8, 2025.
