Lockton has signed a long-term strategic agreement with Jhasa, a Spanish independent insurance and reinsurance broker, under which the construction, energy and M&A specialist will become a partner for Lockton’s Global Commercial Insurance and People Solutions business in Spain.

Founded in 2019, Jhasa has a client base boasting some of the country’s leading enterprises.

EJ Hentenaar, European CEO of Lockton, said: “The business which Juan Sanchez, Juan Hurtado and their team have built is exceptional. They have an unrelenting focus on client service, underpinned by a recognition and commitment to independence and the benefits which this affords them. Their approach has seen them rapidly become the broker to watch in Spain, with an enviable client base that is enabling them to expand to support Spanish businesses internationally. We could not ask for a better partner for our business in Spain and have been in discussion with them for some time about how we can formalise the clear alignment in our culture and values. Today’s agreement represents a key milestone for our business in Spain and the potential of this partnership is truly exciting.”

Juan Hurtado de Amézaga and Juan Sánchez de Amoraga, co-founders of Jhasa added: “When we launched Jhasa, our goal was to become one of the leading independent brokers in Spain, looking after large Spanish corporate clients, who were seeking more than a standard transactional broker. This strategic partnership is a very big step in making that goal a reality. Lockton will provide us with additional expertise, global capabilities, enhanced products, and a new team of associates who we know share our approach to client service. It is a win for Jhasa, Lockton and for businesses across Spain which are pursuing their own international ambitions.”
