Arthur J. Gallagher this morning said it has entered into an agreement to acquire AssuredPartners for $13.45 billion cash to expand its reach in the U.S. middle-market property/casualty and employee benefits space. “We have held in high regard the fast-growing AssuredPartners franchise since its founding in 2011. AssuredPartners’ entrepreneurial spirit, broad U.S. footprint and middle-market focus make them an ideal merger partner for Gallagher,” said J. Patrick Gallagher, Jr., CEO. He added that Orlando, Florida-based AssuredPartners’ 10,900 employees will be welcomed to Gallagher. Commercial organizations, public entities and individuals are served by about 400 offices in the U.S., the U.K. and Ireland. Adjusted revenue over the last year as of Sept. 30 was about $2.9 billion. #insurance #propertycasualty #gallagher #middlemarket #acquisition https://lnkd.in/gvzNnCdA
