Alliant

Alliant’s motion to dismiss McGriff’s counterclaim in the case follows an order that judge Moore filed setting the case for a two-week trial commencing on August 29 next year in Miami.

The executive will be responsible for the firm’s cyber practice west of the Mississippi River.

The longtime forest products executive previously held stints at Aon and Marsh.

The executive argued that his prior role at McGriff is hugely different from his new position at Alliant.

Hill had been with McGriff his entire 30-year career.

The stipulation will end the case, as all the parties requested a dismissal with prejudice.

Alliant has acquired Northern California-based agency Asura Risk in a move that strengthens the company’s middle-market presence.

The former CEO of Truist’s retail division said there is nothing in his contract to prevent him taking up the position.

The recruit joins from Orion and spent 20 years with Lockton.

The broker also filed a lawsuit against Goode, Honeycutt, Forst, Rice, Lee and Keenan as individual defendants.

Ulmer will go to work for the Newport Beach, California-based broker as EVP and managing director supporting the M&A strategy for Alliant Underwriting Solutions (AUS).

Snyder is the fourth public entity specialist Alliant has recruited from Willis in the past month.
