Marsh McLennan Agency (MMA), a business of Marsh (NYSE: MRSH) and a leading provider of business insurance, employee health and benefits, retirement and wealth, and private client insurance solutions across the United States and Canada, today announced the acquisition of Robinson & Son, LLC.

Robinson & Son is a Hudson Falls, New York-based agency specialising in the maritime industry. Terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.

Founded in 2005 by James Robinson and his father, Peter Robinson, who has since retired, Robinson & Son provides property and casualty insurance solutions to businesses and individuals nationwide.

The firm is recognised for its deep specialisation in marine insurance. All employees, including Co-Founder and Agency Principal James Robinson, will join MMA and continue operating from their existing office location.

“The Robinson & Son team has not only demonstrated substantial growth but also a passion for the maritime industry, as both James and Peter Robinson began their careers working in the trade,” said Jerry Alderman, CEO of MMA’s Northeast region.

“With strong industry ties and deep community connections, Robinson & Son will be a valuable asset for our middle-market clients with maritime operations as we build out our industry practice.”

“The risks that our clients in the maritime space face today are evolving and becoming more complex than ever before,” said James Robinson, Co-Founder and Agency Principal of Robinson & Son.

“By joining MMA, we will have access to broader resources that enhance our client service capabilities and enable us to provide additional solutions, all while maintaining the staff and service that define who we are.”
