Upon closing, J.M. Wilson’s operations will become part of RT Binding Authority, the binding authority specialty division of Ryan Specialty.
Founded in 1920, J.M. Wilson operates out of six offices across the United States and offers a diverse portfolio of insurance products, including personal lines, surety, and commercial transportation. The company reported approximately $19 million in operating revenue for the 12-month period ending January 31, 2025.
“J.M. Wilson is very well respected in the industry, with its strong underwriting track record and client-focused approach,” said Ed McCormack, CEO of RT Specialty. “We are delighted to be able to add such high-quality talent to our organization. This team fills a critical need for RT Specialty, giving us a more robust Midwest binding authority presence and strengthening our transportation practice.”
David Wilson, President of J.M. Wilson, expressed enthusiasm about the future under Ryan Specialty’s ownership. “We are thrilled to join RT Specialty and are very familiar with the team,” he said. “For the past 100 years, we have prided ourselves in developing top talent and competing on expertise. Culturally, we know that Ryan Specialty shares our values. We look forward to the future as a part of the Ryan Specialty family.”
The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2025, subject to customary closing conditions.
