<p><b>New page</b></p><div>🏢 '''Willis Towers Watson''' is a global advisory, broking, and solutions company that ranks among the world's largest [[Definition:Insurance broker | insurance brokers]] and [[Definition:Risk management | risk management]] consultants, serving [[Definition:Insurance carrier | carriers]], [[Definition:Reinsurance | reinsurers]], corporations, and public-sector entities across virtually every line of coverage. Formed through the 2016 merger of Willis Group and Towers Watson, the firm combines deep insurance placement capabilities with actuarial consulting, [[Definition:Human capital | human capital]] advisory, and technology-driven analytics. Its broking divisions arrange [[Definition:Commercial insurance | commercial]], [[Definition:Specialty insurance | specialty]], and [[Definition:Reinsurance | reinsurance]] programs for multinational clients, while its consulting arm advises insurers on [[Definition:Reserving | reserving]], [[Definition:Enterprise risk management (ERM) | enterprise risk management]], and regulatory capital modeling.<br />
<br />
⚙️ On the broking side, Willis Towers Watson operates through specialized practices — including [[Definition:Aerospace insurance | aerospace]], [[Definition:Marine insurance | marine]], [[Definition:Cyber insurance | cyber]], and [[Definition:Financial lines insurance | financial lines]] — that leverage proprietary [[Definition:Data analytics | data analytics]] platforms to benchmark pricing, model [[Definition:Catastrophe risk | catastrophe exposures]], and identify coverage gaps. The company's reinsurance arm, Willis Re (now part of the broader entity), structures [[Definition:Treaty reinsurance | treaty]] and [[Definition:Facultative reinsurance | facultative]] placements across major markets including [[Definition:Lloyd's of London | Lloyd's]], Bermuda, and Singapore. Its consulting division builds [[Definition:Actuarial model | actuarial models]], designs [[Definition:Insurance product | insurance products]], and runs [[Definition:Peer review | peer reviews]] of carrier reserving methodologies. Across these activities, the firm's scale allows it to negotiate capacity and terms that smaller intermediaries often cannot access.<br />
<br />
🌍 As a top-tier intermediary, Willis Towers Watson shapes how risk is transferred between buyers and the global insurance market. Its annual Insurance Marketplace Realities reports and rate surveys are widely cited benchmarks that influence [[Definition:Underwriting cycle | underwriting cycle]] expectations across the industry. The firm's integration of consulting and broking under one roof gives it unusual influence — it can advise an insurer on capital strategy while simultaneously placing that insurer's outward reinsurance, a dual role that regulators and competitors monitor closely for potential [[Definition:Conflict of interest | conflicts of interest]].<br />
