Brown & Brown announced that it has entered into an agreement to acquire the general insurance operations of Quinlan Insurance. The transaction is expected to close in late June 2022, subject to certain closing conditions.
With more than 35 years of experience in the insurance advisory business, Patrick Quinlan, that company’s founder and CEO, established Quinlan Insurance in Dublin in 2008 as a boutique-style commercial insurance brokerage, offering meaningful professional commercial insurance advice, services and solutions to a wide range of commercial segments. Today, the 10 insurance advisors on the Quinlan Insurance team specialize in providing property insurance solutions to apartment block management companies and property owners and their agents.
“Patrick demonstrated the entrepreneurial spirit valued by Brown & Brown in building his successful agency,” said Barrett Brown, president of Brown & Brown’s Retail segment. “We are excited about the capabilities that the Quinlan Insurance team brings to our O’Leary Insurances operations and the further growth and enhancement of our presence in Dublin.”
Patrick Quinlan stated, “I truly welcome this agreement. It will benefit our customers and our staff and provides certainty in these uncertain times. This opportunity will allow us to continue growing our business and focusing on our customers in partnership with O’Leary Insurances and Brown & Brown.”
