a prospectus supplement containing specific information about the terms of the securities being offered and the manner in which it may be offered. We may add, update or change the information contained in this prospectus by means of one or more
prospectus supplements. If there is any inconsistency between the information in this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, you should rely on the information in the prospectus supplement. Before investing in our securities, both this

corporate. Brokerage and risk management contributed approximately 86% and 14%, respectively, to 2023 revenues. We generate approximately 64% of our revenues for the combined brokerage and risk management segments domestically, with the remaining
36% generated internationally, primarily in the Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the U.K. The corporate segment did not generate revenues in 2023. Our ability to generate tax credits from qualified refined coal pursuant to Internal Revenue Code
Section&nbsp;45 ended in December 2021, and in 2022 we ran off existing chemical supplies as part of the wind down of such investments&#146; operations, which generated some revenues. Our major sources of operating revenues are commissions, fees and
supplemental and contingent revenues from our brokerage operation, and fees including performance-based fees, from risk management operations. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">For more

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Investing in our securities involves risks. Before making an investment decision regarding our securities, in addition to the other information, documents or
reports included in or incorporated by reference into this prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement or other offering materials, you should carefully consider the specific risks set forth under the caption &#147;Risk Factors&#148; in
the applicable prospectus supplement as well as our Annual Report on Form <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">10-K</FONT> for the fiscal year ended December&nbsp;31, 2023, which is incorporated by reference into this prospectus and any prospectus
supplement, in their entirety, as the same may be amended, supplemented or superseded from time to time by our filings under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the &#147;Exchange Act&#148;). For more information, see the section entitled
&#147;Where You Can Find More Information.&#148; If any one or more of the risks set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement or documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus occur, they could materially and adversely affect our
business, financial condition or results of operations. Consequently, the trading price of our securities could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. </P>

</B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">This prospectus, the accompanying prospectus supplement and the documents they incorporate by reference, contain certain statements related to future
results, or state our intentions, beliefs and expectations or predictions for the future, which are forward-looking statements as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements relate to
expectations or forecasts of future events. Such statements use words such as &#147;anticipate,&#148; &#147;believe,&#148; &#147;estimate,&#148; &#147;expect,&#148; &#147;contemplate,&#148; &#147;forecast,&#148; &#147;project,&#148;

&#147;would.&#148; You can also identify forward-looking statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. For example, we may use forward-looking statements when addressing topics such as: the impact of general
economic conditions, including significant inflation, interest rates and market uncertainty; the effects of geopolitical volatility, including repercussions from the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East; market and industry conditions, including
competitive and pricing trends; acquisition strategy including the expected size of our acquisition program; the expected impact of acquisitions and dispositions and integrating recent acquisitions, including comments regarding the expected benefits
of our acquisition of the Willis Towers Watson plc treaty reinsurance brokerage operations (which we refer to as Willis Re), BCHR Holdings, L.P., and its subsidiaries, dba Buck (which we refer to as Buck), Cadence Insurance, Inc. (which we refer to
as Cadence Insurance), Eastern Insurance Group, LLC (which we refer to as Eastern Insurance), My Plan Manager Group Pty Ltd (which we refer to as My Plan Manager), and other acquisitions larger than our typical
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">tuck-in</FONT> acquisitions and the expected duration and costs of integrating such large acquisitions; the development and performance of our services and products; changes in the composition or level of our
revenues or earnings; our cost structure and the size and outcome of cost-saving or restructuring initiatives; future capital expenditures; future debt levels and anticipated actions to be taken in connection with maturing debt; future debt to
earnings ratios; the outcome of contingencies; dividend policy; pension obligations; cash flow and liquidity; capital structure and financial losses; future actions by regulators; the outcome of existing regulatory actions, audits, reviews or
litigation; the impact of changes in accounting rules; financial markets; interest rates; foreign exchange rates; matters relating to our operations; income taxes; expectations regarding our investments; human capital management, including diversity
and inclusion initiatives, and environmental, social and governance matters, including climate-resilience and climate-advising products and services and carbon emissions. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from either historical or anticipated results depending on a variety of factors. </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Section&nbsp;145 of the DGCL further provides that to the extent a director or officer of a corporation has
been successful in the defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsections (a)&nbsp;and (b) of Section&nbsp;145 of the DGCL or in the defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses
(including attorneys&#146; fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith; and that indemnification provided for by Section&nbsp;145 of the DGCL shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which the
indemnified party may be entitled; and that the corporation shall have power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of a director or officer of the corporation against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in
any such capacity or arising out of such person&#146;s status as such whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under Section&nbsp;145 of the DGCL. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Section&nbsp;102(b)(7) of the DGCL provides that a corporation&#146;s certificate of incorporation may provide a provision that eliminates or limits the
personal liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, provided that such provisions shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director (1)&nbsp;for any breach
of the director&#146;s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders; (2)&nbsp;for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (3)&nbsp;under Section&nbsp;174 of the DGCL; or
(4)&nbsp;for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. No such provision shall eliminate or limit the liability of a director for any act or omission occurring before the date when such provision becomes
effective. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Article Seven of Gallagher&#146;s Amended and Restated <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">By-laws</FONT> provide for the indemnification of each
of Gallagher&#146;s directors, officers, employees or agents to the full extent permitted by applicable law, including, without limitation, the DGCL. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Article Seven of Gallagher&#146;s Amended and Restated <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">By-laws</FONT> provides that Gallagher shall indemnify any person in
connection with any action, suit or proceeding brought or threatened by reason of the fact that he or she is or was one of Gallagher&#146;s directors, officers, employees or agents, or is or was serving at Gallagher&#146;s request as a director,
officer, employee or agent of another enterprise, against all costs actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to
be in or not opposed to Gallagher&#146;s best interests and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. Similar indemnity is permitted to be provided to such persons in
connection with an action or suit by Gallagher or in Gallagher&#146;s right, and provided further that such person shall not have been adjudged liable to Gallagher, unless, in view of all the circumstances of the case, the court in which the action
or suit was brought determines that such person despite the adjudication of liability is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Article Twelve of Gallagher&#146;s Restated Certificate of Incorporation eliminates the liability of Gallagher&#146;s directors or officers for monetary
damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation is not permitted by the DGCL. It further provides that any amendment, modification or repeal of the foregoing sentence
will not adversely affect any right or protection of any of Gallagher&#146;s directors or officers in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to the time of such amendment, modification or repeal. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Gallagher also maintains and pays premiums on a directors&#146; and officers&#146; liability insurance policy and has entered into indemnity agreements with
its directors and officers. The provisions of each indemnity agreement alter or clarify the statutory indemnification in the following respects: (1)&nbsp;indemnity will be explicitly provided for settlements in derivative actions; (2)&nbsp;prompt
payment of litigation expenses will be provided in advance of indemnification; (3)&nbsp;prompt indemnification of advances of expenses will be provided unless a determination is made that the director or officer has not met the required standard;
(4)&nbsp;the director or officer will be permitted to petition a court to determine whether his or her actions meet the standards required; and (5)&nbsp;partial indemnification will be permitted in the event that the director or officer is not
entitled to full indemnification. In addition, each indemnity agreement specifically includes indemnification with respect to actions, suits or proceedings brought under and/or predicated upon the Securities Act and/or the Securities Exchange Act.
