I could be wrong but I remember Hammond choosing Grant, not the insurance company

Here’s the transcript

Scroll down to “The Encased Mosquito.” Hammond wasn’t even in the scene.

You're right, here's the relevant quote

Gennaro: (Slightly dazed) If two experts... sign off on the island, the insurance guys will back off. I've already got Ian Malcolm, but they think he's too trendy. They want Alan Grant.

Thanks for setting me straight

No it's the insurance company. It's that scene the very beginning where the lawyer is going to visit the the guy digging for Amber. He's the lawyer for the insurance company, he mentions that he's going to get Grant. Then the other archaeologist says he won't get Grant cuz Grant's a digger. Which now I think about it I guess means that Hammond is interfering with the impartiality of the evaluators by bribing them.
