Bellrock says its risk advisory and advocacy services have been widened to include mergers and acquisitions (M&A) and contingent risks under the leadership of Sahalya Uthappa.

“The anticipated uplift in M&A activity requires more bespoke, hands-on, targeted and innovative risk transfer options,” CEO Marc Chiarella said.

“Sahalya’s expertise coupled with Bellrock’s diverse industry experience and rapport with insurers provides a refreshing service offering to those in the market for advice on transactional risk.”

Ms Uthappa has more than 14 years’ legal and insurance experience, according to Bellrock’s website.
