British boutique insurance broker McGill and Partners joins LIIBA

London-based specialist boutique insurance broker  McGill and Partners has joined The London and International Insurance Brokers’ Association (LIIBA).

McGill and Partners is the latest firm to join the trade association that represents the interests of Lloyd’s insurance and reinsurance brokers operating in the London and international markets.

Headquartered in London, with an office in New York, McGill and Partners started trading in mid-2019 following an initial equity commitment of up to $250 million from funds affiliated with PE firm Warburg Pincus. The company is led by founder and CEO Steve McGill, a broking veteran and former group president at Aon.

Commenting on the announcement, LIIBA’s chief executive Chris Croft said: “We are delighted that McGill and Partners has decided to join LIIBA. Growing a new business is challenging in any circumstances, but the issues facing all businesses today are particularly complex.

“Our role is to do the heavy lifting on the issues that our members face collectively, saving them time and effort. With Brexit, the pandemic, increased international regulatory challenges and issues specific to London such as Blueprint Two, we believe that LIIBA will deliver real value to Steve and his team.”
