Howden to acquire Atlantic Global Risk

British brokerage group Howden has signed an agreement to acquire Atlantic Global Risk, an independent broker specializing in transactional risk insurance.

Founded in 2017 and headquartered in New York, United States, Atlantic provides solutions across four key areas: mergers and acquisitions, tax, structured solutions, and credit risk.

This acquisition will create a leading player in the global transactional risk insurance market.

Approved by the Boards of Directors of both groups, the transaction remains subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals, and is expected to close in the first quarter of 2026.
