McCann FitzGerald LLP advises NFP on its acquisition by Aon

We are pleased to have advised insurance broker NFP, in conjunction with Skadden, in connection with the signing of a definitive agreement to acquire its business valued at $13.4 billion by consulting firm Aon. Closing of the transaction is subject to regulatory approval, and is expected to occur in mid-2024.

This was a high-value, cross-jurisdictional deal which required input from several specialist areas. The successful signing of this transaction underlines the team’s expertise in handling complex, cross-border transactions.

The McCann FitzGerald LLP team was led by Gary McSharry, Stephen FitzSimons, Rachel O’Neill and Ciarán Sweeney (Corporate Transactions), Darragh Murphy and Clare Gillett (Financial Regulatory), Laura Treacy, Stephen Ryan and Beverley Williamson (Competition) and Alan Heuston and Ian Hanrahan (Tax).
