Broad incumbents

• Marsh (Marsh & McLennan Agency): Global insurance brokerage giant offering professional liability and construction-related coverage to design firms. Greyling explicitly competes against large national brokers like Marsh when mid-market A/E clients leave them for more specialized service.
• Aon: One of the world's largest insurance brokerages, providing construction, professional liability, and risk consulting to A/E/C clients. Aon is the type of incumbent Greyling positions itself against by offering deeper A/E specialization and benchmarking.
• Willis Towers Watson (WTW): Global risk, insurance, and reinsurance broker with construction and design-firm practices. WTW competes for the same mid-size and large engineering firm insurance programs that Greyling targets.
• Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. Major U.S. insurance brokerage serving architecture, engineering, and construction clients. Gallagher has construction practice overlap and competes for mid-market design firm accounts.
• Alliant Insurance Services: U.S. specialty insurance brokerage with construction, energy, and design-firm practices. Alliant's industry-focused teams overlap directly with Greyling's A/E/C customer base.
• USI Insurance Services: Large U.S. middle-market insurance brokerage with construction and design-firm specialty practices. USI competes for mid-size to large engineering firm accounts similar to Greyling's core client base.
• Hub International: North American insurance brokerage with construction and professional liability practices serving design and engineering firms. Hub competes for mid-market A/E/C clients Greyling also targets.

Direct peers

• Brown & Riding Insurance Services: Specialty insurance wholesale brokerage and intermediary with strong construction and professional liability expertise. Like Greyling, B&R focuses on complex, specialty placements for niche industry verticals.
• RPS (Risk Placement Services): Specialty insurance wholesale broker placing professional liability and E&S lines for contractors and design professionals. RPS competes in the same specialty placement channels Greyling accesses for A/E firms.
• Victor Insurance Managers: Managing general agent and program administrator with construction and design-firm specialty programs. Victor is comparable to Greyling as a specialty insurance intermediary focused on professional liability placement for niche verticals.
