19 January 2018 - 6:30AM
Mayor Rahm Emanuel today joined JLT Specialty USA, a U.S.
subsidiary of Jardine Lloyd Thompson Group plc. (JLT), the leading
global specialist risk advisor and broker, to announce the company
has chosen Chicago as its U.S Headquarters.
JLT Specialty USA has seen impressive growth over the last three
years due to its specialist focus and complex risk expertise.
Chicago has been a critical part of that growth and
expansion. JLT Specialty USA will continue its investment in
the city as the Chicago location is expected to become its flagship
office and largest location in the U.S.
“JLT could have chosen any city in the country as their American
headquarters, but they chose Chicago because of the talent pool,
infrastructure and stability our great city offers,” Mayor Emanuel
said. “JLT’s American headquarters will be a strong addition to
Chicago’s business community, and we look forward to their
continued long-term investment and job creation in Chicago.”
“As complex risk specialists we offer deep expertise in key
industries and products. Having access to top talent drives our
ability to solve challenges for our clients. Chicago became an
obvious choice for investment given its impressive infrastructure,
higher education and talent pool, especially in the insurance
sector,” said Michael Rice, CEO, JLT Specialty USA. “We continue to
see value in making long term investments here.”
“Chicago is the location that has all the elements to drive
growth,” said Pat Donnelly, Deputy CEO, JLT Specialty USA. “It is
home to a diverse base of global businesses that are driving
innovation and has one of the most highly educated workforces in
the country. This combination gives us the resources to add
creative thinkers that can drive solutions for our clients.”
The Chicago office is located at 225 West Wacker on the 5th
Floor and is occupied by several JLT executives and approximately
60 specialists across key product and industries. The company plans
to double the size of its workforce in Chicago over the next few
years.
