Insurance brokers
At Browne Jacobson we have in-depth knowledge and experience of the insurance broker and intermediary sector. We combine that knowledge and experience with our leading full-service commercial practice, to provide a seamless, joined-up service to our broker clients.
As an intermediary, we understand the regulatory considerations that apply to everything you do, from your senior managers’ employment contracts to your customer-facing terms of business. As associate members of the British Insurance Brokers Association, we work closely with a large number of insurance intermediaries. We stay on top of the latest developments.
We are particularly well known for our work in the broker M&A space, in which we are one of the most active firms in the market. We have advised on dozens of high-profile broker acquisitions and disposals in the past few years, ranging from large multi-party deals to small book purchases. We have particular expertise in compliance diligence and change of control issues.
We also have significant experience advising on the contractual arrangements that are essential to the distribution of regulated products, including binders, insurer TOBAs, customer TOBAs, TPA agreements and agreements with software providers.
We are considered to be a trusted advisor by many clients ranging from multinational brokers and networks to smaller regional firms, some of whom instruct us as their remote ‘in house’ counsel through our innovative instant in house product.
