Alliant partners with Brokerslink in expansion strategy

US-based specialty insurance brokerage Alliant Insurance Services has joined global broker network Brokerslink and is set to become a shareholder in the near future.

Alliant said the partnership is a part of its strategy to expand its international reach.

The move follows Alliant's "strategically important" acquisition of New York-based company Crystal back in April.

“Alliant has established its market-leading position by building on a legacy of entrepreneurialism and specialisation focus, a vision shared by Brokerslink. Working with them and the other network partners and affiliates we will be able to expand the offerings available to global clients and extend our own global footprint and the capabilities available to Alliant’s customer base,” said Jamie Crystal, executive vice president at Alliant.

José Manuel Fonseca, chairman of Brokerslink, said: “We are delighted to welcome Alliant to Brokerslink. Their strength in the US market and position as one of the world’s largest independent brokers are of significant value to us and the brokers in our network. We also believe that our global expertise and reach will be of importance to Alliant, enabling them to develop and provide international servicing capabilities to their clients across the US.”
