Switch from Gallagher

Moving your insurance program from Gallagher? Compare brokers with Spot

Gallagher operates through several entities with separate teams for technology risk, executive risk and benefits, and your Spot team maps which agreement covers what before you compare brokers.

  • Your Gallagher agreement and entity identified
  • Executive risk and benefits planned separately
  • Pre-renewal timelines set with the new broker

How it works

Identify your Gallagher agreement

Gallagher works through several entities, and some accounts came from Woodruff Sawyer. Send your engagement letter and policies so your Spot team records the entity and portal you use.

Group your policies by team

We separate technology E&O, cyber and directors and officers from general liability, workers’ compensation, property, benefits and umbrella, since different Gallagher teams may handle them.

Moving from Gallagher

Gallagher is a large brokerage covering business insurance, technology risk and employee benefits, with technology teams for startups through enterprise and separate executive-risk and transaction support. You can begin through an advisor inquiry or by calling or scheduling with an advisor. The entity on your engagement matters, since Gallagher operates through several.

Why businesses consider switching

  • 01

    A financing or acquisition is coming

    Transaction work can change which broker team you want beside you.

  • 02

    You want executive risk handled elsewhere

    Some businesses keep benefits with one broker and move liability programs to another.

  • 03

    Your size changed

    A company that grew past a startup team or shrank after layoffs may want a different servicing model.

  • 04

    You’d like a fresh review of markets

    A new broker often reviews which insurers are asked to quote.

How to switch without a gap

  • 01

    Check the engagement letter

    Find the term, notice and servicing sections of your agreement.

  • 02

    Request proposals before the pre-renewal cycle

    Gallagher describes pre-renewal meetings across finance, HR, operations and risk, so ask new brokers about theirs.

  • 03

    Move policies in the order that suits you

    A broker of record letter can start servicing earlier. Renewal appointments wait for the policy date.

  • 04

    Close the loop

    Get confirmation from each insurer, move your portal access and certificate requests to the new broker, and update contacts on contracts.

Common questions

Which Gallagher entity do I have an agreement with?

Check your engagement letter or broker agreement, which names it. Your Spot team notes it so you know exactly which agreement a change affects.

Can I move my executive-risk policies and leave benefits behind?

You can ask. Executive risk and benefits are separate programs, so some businesses move one and keep the other. Your Spot team keeps each policy’s dates and servicing in one view.

Did Gallagher ask Spot to publish this?

No. Spot isn’t affiliated with Gallagher, and nothing here is approved by it.

What about my Gallagher portal and certificates?

Download what you need before servicing moves, since portal access follows your agreement. Customers can then generate certificates in the Spot app.

Does Spot earn a commission on my insurance?

No, because Spot doesn’t take commissions on premiums. It works with the broker you pick, whether that’s Gallagher or someone else.
