Ames & Gough Appoints Marshall to Lead Newly Established New York Operations

Ames & Gough, an insurance broker and risk management consultant specializing in serving design professionals, law firms, associations/nonprofits and other professional service organizations, has appointed Wayne T. Marshall as vice president and client executive.

In addition, Marshall will lead the firm’s New York operations, where Ames & Gough plans to open an office in the immediate future.

“Over the years, Ames & Gough has developed a significant base of clients throughout the New York metropolitan area,” said Dan Knise, president and CEO of Ames & Gough, in a company press release. “As our work in this region continues to expand, the timing is right for us to establish a local presence. Wayne’s extensive work with design and law firms on complex professional liability insurance claims demonstrates his understanding of the special needs and evolving exposures of these clients and makes him ideally suited to lead our operations here.”

As an expert in complex claims involving architectural and engineering firms, Marshall previously was with Berkley Design Professional in New York as a senior vice president and professional liability claims manager. Before that, he was with Catlin as a senior claims examiner and subsequently as an assistant director of U.S. Litigation Management of XL Catlin following the merger of the two insurers.

As an attorney, Marshall previously served as an insurance litigator and a senior claims counsel for Zurich North America, where he focused on architect, engineer and construction related claims.

Ames & Gough, which was established in 1992, also has offices in Washington, DC; Boston, Mass., and Philadelphia, Penn.
