Largest Insurance Mergers and Acquisitions

Join a global leader known for ethics, excellence and diversity

When you become part of Gallagher, you gain the leverage and knowledge of a worldwide leader with over 90 years of insurance innovation. Since our founding in 1927, we have been guided by 25 simple tenets known as The Gallagher Way. Over a generation ago, our then chairman, Robert E. Gallagher, wrote them down in his own hand.

The Gallagher Way informs the actions we undertake every day, and it continues to be our north star for how we treat each other and our clients. We have grown our business by working with people and organizations like yours who share these common values and vision. Our commitment to creating an inclusive workplace enables all our employees to reach their fullest potential.

When merging with any company, some things will inevitably change — and at Gallagher, they change for the better. Maintaining and growing your client base is our priority — and we know you've been doing that well for many years without us. Our goal is to bring our collective resources, tools and expertise together to grow your business, continue your presence within your community, and prepare you for the future. The opportunity to meet — and surpass — your earn-out potential is within reach at Gallagher — and we'll work together to get there.
