Lockton Companies

Lockton is an independent insurance brokerage and advisory firm. Its work spans risk management and insurance placement, employee benefits consulting, retirement services and claims consulting, sold through local offices that draw on the wider global platform rather than through a centralised national desk.

The firm makes a point of its ownership: it describes itself as a family organisation that is not under quarterly pressure from financial markets, and attributes its structure to a founding belief that private ownership keeps employees focused on client results. Products and services are presented region by region, so a buyer is directed to the regional site and local team for the specifics of what is available. Recent additions include Lockton SAGE, described as an enterprise intelligence platform combining technology, data and the firm's own expertise, alongside regular market updates and people solutions reports.

On scale, the site cites over 100 offices worldwide, more than 13,100 insurance and risk specialists and over 65,000 clients in more than 140 countries, and says the firm has delivered a sixth consecutive year of double-digit growth. The US headquarters is at 444 W 47th St, Suite 900, Kansas City, Missouri, on +1 816 960 9000, with regional hubs including London, Sydney, Hong Kong and Dubai.

The pages reviewed here are corporate and regional overviews. They do not describe a named real estate practice, a property programme or captive design, and they publish no fees or commission arrangements, though a compensation disclosure page is linked. A property owner should ask which local office and industry team would hold the account and what their experience is with the asset class.

Best for
