With this acquisition, Aon has added 100 new colleagues in Japan, a total of more than 400 professionals will work together to provide services to clients led by Tatsuya Yamamoto, Head of Japan at Aon.

“This is a significant initiative in the industry, following the changes in the Japanese non-life insurance market which many Japanese companies are likely following closely.
