Ryan Specialty Group Europe has expanded the underwriting capabilities of RSG Transactional Risks Europe (RSG TRE) with the hiring of Will Gay.

RSG TRE is a specialised managing general underwriter focused exclusively on providing transactional insurance solutions to the mergers & acquisitions community.

In his new role, Gay will focus on commercial tax liability insurance, together with Kerry Westwell, head of tax at RSG TRE.

Peter McKenna, managing director of Ryan Specialty Group Europe, said: “Will Gay will enhance our underwriting capabilities in Tax W&I and will support further growth of RSG’s transactional risk practice in Europe.”
