Willis has expanded its global valuation capabilities with the launch of its new Forensic Accounting & Valuation Services (FAVS) team, uniting valuation, data, and consulting expertise under one umbrella.
The new team replaces the former Forensic Accounting and Complex Claims group, marking a strategic rebrand toward more data-driven and technology-enabled valuation solutions. This evolution is designed to meet growing client demand for sophisticated, international risk assessments and precise asset valuations.
To lead the initiative, Willis has announced several senior appointments. James Adams joins from Marsh as senior valuation expert for Great Britain, while Ken Giambagno assumes the role of senior advisor. Jason Lelio, who previously played a key role within Willis’s forensic accounting practice, will now head the global FAVS team.
While the team will continue to manage insurance claim quantification and preparation, it will place greater emphasis on delivering accurate and comprehensive asset valuations. The move aligns with the industry’s increasing focus on correctly reported insured values and their critical role in ensuring effective post-loss recovery.
