Condon Claims Management, one of the world’s leading claims management advisory firms, has acquired US-based Marine Claims Associates LLC in a move that will strengthen its portfolio and enable it to expand its services and presence in the United States.

The acquisition marks a strategic milestone for Condon Claims Management, which is part of the Thomas Miller Group, as the firm continues to broaden its presence in the US market, enabling it to offer greater claims management and adjusting services in the maritime, logistics, energy and construction sectors.

Crucially, Marine Claims Associates’ vast experience in handling P&I claims will enhance Condon Claims Managements’ ability to expand its services along the Eastern Seaboard of the United States.

“Having the knowledge and experience to broaden our services is essential in today’s modern marine landscape. From conducting site investigations and gathering key witness statements to assessing the cause of issues and recommending appropriate actions, it is critical that we deliver the very best support to both maritime companies and seafarers during challenging times,” said Steve Condon, CEO of Condon Claims Management.

“By bringing the talented team from Marine Claims Associates into our fold, we are enhancing our presence in the United States and expanding our quality services into new and important service areas. I look forward to working with the entire team that share our values of commitment and world-class service to the marine industry,” he added.

With the addition of the Marine Claims Associates team at the new office in New Bedford, Massachusetts, Condon Claims Management will expand its presence in the Northeastern United States. With offices in Mandeville and Lafayette, Louisiana; Miami, Florida; Houston, Texas; and New Bedford, Massachusetts, Condon Claims Management is well placed to provide quality claims services right across the USA. The acquisition will take place effective immediately and the entire Marine Claims Associates’ team will fall under the Condon Claims Management brand.
