13 Aug 2025 2 min read

The firm has supported Datos Insights in expanding its insurance advisory capabilities through the acquisition of InsTech.

Our Corporate and M&A team has advised Datos Insights, a leading global provider of data and advisory solutions to the financial services and insurance industries, on its acquisition of InsTech, the prominent London-based insurance innovation community and advisory firm.

The transaction sees Datos Insights significantly strengthen its presence in the London Market, combining its deep practitioner expertise and sophisticated analytics capabilities with InsTech’s trusted network of senior insurance executives and its reputation for practical innovation.

Burges Salmon fielded a specialist team from its Corporate and M&A practice to advise on the deal, led by partner Dominic Davis and associate Tom Curnow. The team provided strategic legal counsel across all aspects of the transaction, helping to ensure a smooth and efficient process for all parties involved.

“We’re delighted to have supported Datos Insights on this strategically important acquisition. The combination of Datos’ technology-focused advisory expertise with InsTech’s established community and innovation credentials creates a powerful platform for future growth. It’s been a real pleasure working with Wayne, Kristin and the Datos team and helping them navigate this exciting next chapter.“

The acquisition enables enhanced cross-market capabilities for both organisations, with Datos expanding its footprint in the UK and InsTech gaining access to Datos’ deep roots in the US market. The deal reflects the increasingly interconnected nature of global insurance markets and the London Market’s pivotal role in international coverage.

“We’re thrilled to welcome InsTech into the Datos family. Their reputation for practical innovation and deep relationships across the UK insurance sector perfectly complement our own strengths. Dom, Tom, Ceren and the wider Burges Salmon team have been great to work with and have provided outstanding advice and support throughout the transaction.”
