Marsh has said that the restrictions it faced on contingent commissions have been loosened for transactions where Marsh works as an agent of an insurance company, rather than on behalf of its corporate clients.
The changes, announced in a filing with the Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC), change the January 2005 agreement Marsh signed with the Attorney General of New York and insurance regulators, that detailed how it could be compensated.
Reports said Marsh was unable to say immediately, how much revenue the change in rules could affect.
