US-based Marsh McLennan Agency (MMA) has acquired HMS Insurance Associates, an independent insurance agency, for an undisclosed sum.

HMS was established in 1943 and offers property/casualty insurance, surety, group captive, and employee benefits to individuals and businesses in the Mid-Atlantic.

As part of the deal, HMS’ more than 120-member team, including its president Gary L. Berger, will move to MMA. They will remain based at the firm’s Hunt Valley, Maryland office.

MMA mid-Atlantic region CEO John Stanchina source: “The MMA goal has always been to partner with the best firms and together build a unique experience for colleagues and clients.

“With exceptional leadership, client satisfaction, long-term client retention, and decades of profitable growth, we are delighted to bring the HMS team on board.”

Berger added: “We are excited to join the MMA family given the alignment we share in our approach to customer service, employee engagement, and carrier partnership.
