XL Group has appointed Rowley Higgs as mergers and acquisitions (“M&A”) underwriter to join Tim Allen, the global head of the M&A insurance unit, to support the expansion of the business.
Mr. Higgs joins XL Group from CMS Cameron McKenna, where he spent the past seven years. He has advised a number of underwriters in relation to warranties and indemnities as well as working on a range of corporate transactions.
Commenting on Mr. Higgs' appointment, Mr. Allen said, “We have appointed Rowley because as a leading practitioner in the M&A industry, he has not only worked client side, advising on the legal aspect of global transactions, but he has also advised insurers on the issuance of M&A insurance policies.
“With this dual perspective, Rowley is ideally positioned to lead growth by identifying future opportunities and development of the insurance product in order to meet the needs of an increasingly active M&A market.”
