Barney & Barney LLC, a San Diego-based insurance brokerage firm with offices in Aliso Viejo and Northern California, has been acquired by Marsh & McLennan Agency LLC on undisclosed terms.
Barney & Barney will retain its name, and no changes are expected for the local group of 65 employees, including the leadership team.
Marsh & McLennan Agency is part of New York-based insurance broker Marsh LLC, which serves clients in more than 100 countries. Marsh is a subsidiary of New York-based professional services firm Marsh & McLennan Companies Inc., a publicly traded company with about $24 billion in market value.
