Marsh has hired David Nayler to head up its financial institutions industry practice in the UK.

Nayler joins Marsh from Aon, where he held numerous leadership roles within the firm’s financial and professional services group since originally joining the broker in 2005, including leading the legal and claims practice.

Prior to this, Nayler was an associate solicitor at law firm Eversheds. Nayler is also chairman of the British Insurance Law Association.

Upon assuming his new role in early 2018, Nayler will be responsible for bringing together financial services sector client management, technical, placement and risk management specialists from across the business to support Marsh’s financial institutions clients in mitigating the complex risks they face.

He will report to risk management practice leader for the UK and Ireland, Charles Beresford-Davies.
