UAE: Miller and Shields combined unit to be rebranded Shields Miller on completion of acquisition

Source: Middle East Insurance Review | Sep 2026

Miller, the London-headquartered independent specialist (re)insurance broker, has completed its acquisition of Shields Reinsurance Brokers (Shields), an independent reinsurance broker based in Dubai.

The transaction closed on 31 July following the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals.

Founded in 2017, Shields has built a strong reputation in Facultative and Treaty reinsurance across specialty classes in MENA and beyond, serving a diversified client base comprising insurers, reinsurers, and takaful companies.

Shields and Miller’s capabilities will be brought together under one unified brand, Shields Miller, which will sit as part of the Miller Group.

The transaction complements Miller’s expanding (re)insurance strategy and growing multinational presence, following the 2025 acquisition of AHJ Holdings. M
