As the Marsh D&O product leader, Matthew McLellan is responsible for developing and implementing Marsh’s strategy with respect to the D&O product overall and with regard to interactions with colleagues, clients and prospects. He leads the team responsible for interactions with Marsh’s D&O insurer trading partners regarding coverage. He is also responsible for leading Marsh’s efforts in the creation and delivery of D&O thought leadership. As a client advisor, McLellan specializes in renewal strategies and negotiations, as well as complex D&O liability coverage and claims issues. He advises on policy language and endorsements to seek the best possible coverage afforded by the insurance markets and produces content for internal and external distribution.
McLellan joined Marsh as a broker in the FINPRO practice in 2018. Prior to joining the firm, he practiced law for nearly seven years with Troutman Pepper and Hunton Andrews Kurth LLP. In his legal practice, he represented both insurance carriers and policyholders in insurance coverage litigation and disputes. He also provided coverage advice and legal counsel on issues relating to D&O liability, professional liability, cyber liability, and various specialty insurance lines. In addition to representing clients to resolve coverage disputes, McLellan also counseled businesses across industries on issues relevant to renewing their insurance programs. He has participated in and organized events for local risk management professional societies, including speaking on panels about insurance issues and representing his legal practice at national conferences.
After leaving private legal practice, McLellan spent a year in an in-house legal role, counseling financial institution clients on risks relating to litigation and M&A activity. He has a bachelor’s degree in political science from Indiana University and a juris doctorate from American University, Washington College of Law. He is also a member of the District of Columbia Bar.
