Kennedys advises on the sale of Bircroft Insurance Services Limited

We recently advised the sellers of Bircroft Insurance Services Limited (Bircroft) in its sale to Arthur J. Gallagher & Co (Gallagher).

Bircroft, a London-based commercial insurance broker, provides retail and wholesale services with a focus on the commercial real estate sector. For their private clients, they provide protection cover for homes and valuables.

Through this transaction, Bircroft's strong relationships and commitment to exceptional service will be carried forward, creating new opportunities for clients. This acquisition will help grow Gallagher’s real estate division, which supports UK clients including property owners and investors, managing agents, resident managing companies and property developers.

The transaction was led by corporate partner Matthew Poli on behalf of the sellers, in collaboration with associates Laura Harrop and Ryan Webb from our corporate team, and legal director Erica Aldridge from our employment team.

Speaking on the transaction, Matthew said: “We are thrilled to have acted for the owners of Bircroft on their strategic disposal to Gallagher. This deal is yet another example of Kennedys’ capabilities in supporting our global insurance client base on commercially significant projects and transactions.”
