Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Terms Used in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements ASC - Accounting Standards Codification. ASU - Accounting Standards Update. FASB - The Financial Accounting Standards Board. GAAP - U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. IRC - Internal Revenue Code. IRS - Internal Revenue Service. Underwriting enterprises - Insurance companies, reinsurance companies and various other forms of risk-taking entities, including intermediaries of underwriting enterprises. Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. and its subsidiaries, collectively referred to herein as we, our, us or the company, provide insurance brokerage, consulting and third party claims settlement and administration services to both domestic and international entities. We have three reportable segments: brokerage, risk management and corporate. Our brokers, agents and administrators act as intermediaries between underwriting enterprises and our clients. Our brokerage segment operations provide brokerage and consulting services to companies and entities of all types, including commercial, not-for-profit, public entities, and, to a lesser extent, individuals, in the areas of insurance placement, risk of loss management, and management of employer sponsored benefit programs. Our risk management segment operations provide contract claim settlement, claim administration, loss control services and risk management consulting for commercial, not-for-profit, captive and public entities, and various other organizations that choose to self-insure property/casualty coverages or choose to use a third-party claims management organization rather than the claim services provided by underwriting enterprises. The corporate segment reports the financial information related to our debt and other corporate costs, clean energy investments, external acquisition-related expenses and the impact of foreign currency translation. Clean energy investments consist of our investments in limited liability companies that own 35 commercial clean coal production facilities producing refined coal using Chem-Mod LLC’s proprietary technologies. We believe these operations produce refined coal that qualifies for tax credits under IRC Section 45. We do not assume underwriting risk on a net basis, other than with respect to de minimis amounts necessary to provide minimum or regulatory capital to organize captives, pools, specialized underwriters or risk-retention groups. Rather, capital for covering losses is provided by underwriting enterprises. Investment income and other revenues are primarily generated from our premium financing operations, our invested cash and restricted cash we hold on behalf of our clients, as well as clean energy investments. In addition, our share of the net earnings related to partially owned entities that are accounted for using the equity method is included in investment income. We are headquartered in Rolling Meadows, Illinois, have operations in 49 countries and offer client-service capabilities in more than 150 countries globally through a network of correspondent insurance brokers and consultants. We have prepared the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein are, in the opinion of management, prepared on a basis consistent with our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 , except as disclosed in Note 2, and include all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the information set forth. The quarterly results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be reported for subsequent quarters or the full year. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 1 0-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 . In the preparation of our unaudited consolidated financial statements as of June 30 , 2020 , management evaluated all material subsequent events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date through the date on which the financial statements were issued, for potential recognition or disclosure therein. Use of Estimates The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These accounting principles require us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and revenues and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our consolidated financial statements. We periodically evaluate our estimates and assumptions, including those relating to the valuation of goodwill and other intangible assets, right-of-use assets, investments (including our IRC Section 45 investments), income taxes, revenue recognition, deferred costs, stock-based compensation, claims handling obligations, retirement plans, litigation and contingencies. We base our estimates on historical experience and various assumptions that we believe to be reasonable based on specific circumstances. Such estimates and assumptions could change in the future as more information becomes known, which could impact the amounts reported and disclosed herein.

Accounting Changes And Error Corrections [Abstract]
Effect of New Accounting Pronouncements	2. Effect of New Accounting Pronouncements Credit Impairment In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. Under the new guidance an entity is required to measure all credit losses on certain financial instruments, including trade receivables and various off-balance sheet credit exposures, using an expected credit loss model. This model incorporates past experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts affecting collectability of these instruments. An entity will apply the new guidance through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the year of adoption. The guidance was effective January 1, 2020. We adopted this new guidance effective January 1, 2020 and applied the guidance to measure credit losses on our financial instruments, which included premiums and fees receivable, premium finance advances and reinsurance recoverables. The adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. Disclosure Framework In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. This new guidance modifies various disclosure requirements for fair value measurements, including in certain part those related to Level 3 fair value measurements. The new guidance was effective January 1, 2020. Certain portions of the guidance needed to be adopted prospectively while other portions were required to be adopted retrospectively for all periods presented. In August 2018, the FASB also issued ASU No. 2018-14, Compensation-Retirement Benefits-Defined Benefit Plans-General (Topic 715-20): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans. This new guidance modifies various disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. The new guidance was effective January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted. Retrospective adoption is required. We adopted both of the standards effective January 1, 2020. The adoption did not have any impact on our consolidated financial statements. Intangibles - Goodwill and Other In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The new guidance eliminates Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. Instead, the updated guidance requires an entity to perform its annual or interim goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value, and recognizing a non-cash impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value with the loss not exceeding the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The new guidance was effective beginning January 1, 2020. We adopted this new guidance effective January 1, 2020 . The adoption did no t have any impact on our consolidated financial statements. Internal-use Software In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That is a Service Contract. This new accounting guidance requires deferral of certain implementation costs associated with a cloud computing arrangement, or hosting arrangement, thereby aligning deferral of such costs with implementation costs associated with developing internal-use software. Accounting for the service component of a hosting arrangement remains unchanged. An entity will defer these implementation costs over the term of the hosting arrangement, including optional renewal periods that are reasonably certain of exercise. Amounts expensed would be presented through operating expense, rather than depreciation or amortization. The new guidance was effective January 1, 2020. An entity may adopt the guidance either prospectively for all cloud computing arrangement implementation costs incurred on or after the effective date, or retrospectively, including comparative periods. We adopted this new guidance effective January 1, 2020 on a prospective basis. The adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Business Combinations [Abstract]
Business Combinations	3. Business Combinations During the six-month period ended June 30, 2020, we acquired substantially all of the net assets of the following firms in exchange for our common stock and/or cash. These acquisitions have been accounted for using the acquisition method for recording business combinations (in millions, except share data): Total Maximum Common Common Recorded Recorded Potential Name and Effective Shares Share Accrued Escrow Earnout Purchase Earnout Date of Acquisition Issued Value Cash Paid Liability Deposited Payable Price Payable (000s) Capsicum Reinsurance Brokers LLP January 1, 2020 (CRB) 584 $ 62.9 $ 64.5 $ — $ — $ 119.0 $ 246.4 $ 209.1 Hanover Excess & Surplus, Inc and Hanover 'Finance, Inc (HES) January 1, 2020 — — 30.1 — 3.0 0.2 33.3 9.3 CRES Insurance Services, LLC June 1, 2020 (CRES) 288 28.5 1.5 — 1.0 5.3 36.3 7.3 Nine other acquisitions completed in 2020 89 6.7 51.9 1.8 5.0 18.4 83.8 35.4 961 $ 98.1 $ 148.0 $ 1.8 $ 9.0 $ 142.9 $ 399.8 $ 261.1 Common shares issued in connection with acquisitions are valued at closing market prices as of the effective date of the applicable acquisition or on the days when the shares are issued, if purchase consideration is deferred. We record escrow deposits that are returned to us as a result of adjustments to net assets acquired as reductions of goodwill when the escrows are settled. The maximum potential earnout payables disclosed in the foregoing table represent the maximum amount of additional consideration that could be paid pursuant to the terms of the purchase agreement for the applicable acquisition. The amounts recorded as earnout payables, which are primarily based upon the estimated future operating results of the acquired entities over a two- to three-year period subsequent to the acquisition date, are measured at fair value as of the acquisition date and are included on that basis in the recorded purchase price consideration in the foregoing table. We will record subsequent changes in these estimated earnout obligations, including the accretion of discount, in our consolidated statement of earnings when incurred. The fair value of these earnout obligations is based on the present value of the expected future payments to be made to the sellers of the acquired entities in accordance with the provisions outlined in the respective purchase agreements, which is a Level 3 fair value measurement. In determining fair value, we estimated the acquired entity’s future performance using financial projections developed by management for the acquired entity and market participant assumptions that were derived for revenue growth and/or profitability. Revenue growth rates generally ranged from 2.5% to 13.8% for our 2020 acquisitions. We estimated future payments using the earnout formula and performance targets specified in each purchase agreement and the financial projections just described. We then discounted these payments to present value using a risk-adjusted rate that takes into consideration market-based rates of return that reflect the ability of the acquired entity to achieve the targets. The discount rates generally were 9.0% for all of our 2020 acquisitions. Changes in financial projections, market participant assumptions for revenue growth and/or profitability, or the risk-adjusted discount rate, would result in a change in the fair value of recorded earnout obligations. During the three-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we recognized $7.7 million and $5.8 million, respectively, of expense in our consolidated statement of earnings related to the accretion of the discount recorded for earnout obligations in connection with our acquisitions. During the six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we recognized $18.4 million and $11.4 million, respectively, of expense in our consolidated statement of earnings related to the accretion of the discount recorded for earnout obligations in connection with our acquisitions. In addition, during the three-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we recognized $8.0 million of expense and $2.4 million of income, respectively, related to net adjustments in the estimated fair value of the liability for earnout obligations in connection with revised projections of future performance for 44 and 46 acquisitions, respectively. In addition, during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we recognized $91.6 million and $5.1 million of income, respectively, related to net adjustments in the estimated fair value of the liability for earnout obligations in connection with revised projections of future performance for 102 and 68 acquisitions, respectively. The aggregate amount of maximum earnout obligations related to acquisitions was $1,060.7 million as of June 30, 2020, of which $474.0 million was recorded in the consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2020, based on the estimated fair value of the expected future payments to be made. The following is a summary of the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired at the date of each acquisition made in the six‑month period ended June 30, 2020 (in millions): Nine Other CRB HES CRES Acquisitions Total Cash $ — $ 0.3 $ 1.5 $ 2.4 $ 4.2 Other current assets — 4.0 15.2 21.7 40.9 Fixed assets — — — 0.4 0.4 Noncurrent assets 7.6 0.8 — 2.0 10.4 Goodwill 119.0 13.1 24.6 33.8 190.5 Expiration lists 103.3 19.5 9.3 46.3 178.4 Non-compete agreements 3.3 0.5 0.4 0.4 4.6 Trade names 13.2 — 1.0 — 14.2 Total assets acquired 246.4 38.2 52.0 107.0 443.6 Current liabilities — 4.4 15.7 19.6 39.7 Noncurrent liabilities — 0.5 — 3.6 4.1 Total liabilities assumed — 4.9 15.7 23.2 43.8 Total net assets acquired $ 246.4 $ 33.3 $ 36.3 $ 83.8 $ 399.8 Among other things, these acquisitions allow us to expand into desirable geographic locations, further extend our presence in the retail and wholesale insurance and reinsurance brokerage services markets and increase the volume of general services currently provided. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the tangible net assets acquired at the acquisition date was allocated to goodwill, expiration lists, non-compete agreements and trade names in the amounts of $190.5 million, $178.4 million, $4.6 million and $14.2 million, respectively, within the brokerage and risk management segment. Provisional estimates of fair value are established at the time of each acquisition and are subsequently reviewed within the first year of operations subsequent to the acquisition date to determine the necessity for adjustments. The fair value of the tangible assets and liabilities for each applicable acquisition at the acquisition date approximated their carrying values. The fair value of expiration lists was established using the excess earnings method, which is an income approach based on estimated financial projections developed by management for each acquired entity using market participant assumptions. Revenue growth and attrition rates generally ranged from 1.5% to 3.2% and 5.0% to 15.7%, respectively, for our 2019 acquisitions for which valuations were performed in 2020. We estimate the fair value as the present value of the benefits anticipated from ownership of the subject expiration list in excess of returns required on the investment in contributory assets necessary to realize those benefits. The rate used to discount the net benefits was based on a risk-adjusted rate that takes into consideration market-based rates of return and reflects the risk of the asset relative to the acquired business. These discount rates generally ranged from 9.0% to 12.5% for our 2019 acquisitions for which valuations were performed in 2020. The fair value of non-compete agreements was established using the profit differential method, which is an income approach based on estimated financial projections developed by management for the acquired company using market participant assumptions and various non-compete scenarios. Expiration lists, non-compete agreements and trade names related to our acquisitions are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives (two to fifteen years for expiration lists, two to six years for non-compete agreements and two to fifteen years for trade names), while goodwill is not subject to amortization. We use the straight-line method to amortize these intangible assets because the pattern of their economic benefits cannot be reasonably determined with any certainty. We review all of our intangible assets for impairment periodically (at least annually) and whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. In reviewing intangible assets, if the fair value were less than the carrying amount of the respective (or underlying) asset, an indicator of impairment would exist and further analysis would be required to determine whether or not a loss would need to be charged against current period earnings as a component of amortization expense . Based on the results of impairment reviews during the three month and six-month period s ended June 30 , 2020, we wrote off $ 0.2 million and $ 46.0 million , respectively, of amortizable assets related to the brokerage and risk management segments . such impairment s were noted in the three-month and six -month period s ended June 30 , 2019. Of the $178.4 million of expiration lists, $4.6 million of non-compete agreements and $14.2 million of trade names related to our acquisitions made during the six-month period ended June 30, 2020, $3.4 million, $0.1 million and Our consolidated financial statements for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 include the operations of the entities acquired in the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 from their respective acquisition dates. The following is a summary of the unaudited pro forma historical results, as if these entities had been acquired at January 1, 2019 (in millions, except per share data): Three-month period ended Six-month period ended June 30, June 30, 2020 2019 2020 2019 Total revenues $ 1,586.3 $ 1,669.4 $ 3,458.4 $ 3,670.6 Net earnings attributable to controlling interests 153.9 111.3 500.4 451.0 Basic net earnings per share 0.81 0.60 2.63 2.42 Diluted net earnings per share 0.79 0.58 2.58 2.37 The unaudited pro forma results above have been prepared for comparative purposes only and do not purport to be indicative of the results of operations which actually would have resulted had these acquisitions occurred at January 1, 2019, nor are they necessarily indicative of future operating results. Annualized revenues of entities acquired during the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 totaled approximately $138.1 million. For the six‑month period ended June 30, 2020, total revenues and net earnings recorded in our unaudited consolidated statement of earnings related to our acquisitions made during the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 in the aggregate, were $16.6 million and $2.9 million, respectively.

Revenue From Contract With Customer [Abstract]
Contracts with Customers	4. Contracts with Customers Contract Assets and Liabilities/Contract Balances Information about unbilled receivables, contract assets and contract liabilities from contracts with customers is as follows (in millions): June 30, 2020 December 31, 2019 Unbilled receivables $ 736.7 $ 556.4 Deferred contract costs 70.1 98.3 Deferred revenue 519.6 503.8 The unbilled receivables, which are included in premiums and fees receivable in our consolidated balance sheet, primarily relate to our rights to consideration for work completed but not billed at the reporting date. These are transferred to the receivables when the client is billed. The deferred contract costs represent the costs we incur to fulfill a new or renewal contract with our clients prior to the effective date of the contract. These costs are expensed on the contract effective date. The deferred revenue represents the remaining performance obligations under our contracts. Significant changes in the deferred revenue balances, which include foreign currency translation adjustments, during the period are as follows (in millions): Risk Brokerage Management Total Deferred revenue at December 31, 2019 $ 337.2 $ 166.6 $ 503.8 Incremental deferred revenue 230.4 77.4 307.8 Revenue recognized during the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 included in deferred revenue at December 31, 2019 (214.2 ) (75.6 ) (289.8 ) Impact of change in foreign exchange rates (6.2 ) — (6.2 ) Deferred revenue recognized from business acquisitions 4.0 — 4.0 Deferred revenue at June 30, 2020 $ 351.2 $ 168.4 $ 519.6 Revenue recognized during the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 in the table above included revenue from 2019 acquisitions that would not be reflected in prior periods. Remaining Performance Obligations Remaining performance obligations represent the portion of the contract price for which work has not been performed. As of June 30, 2020, the aggregate amount of the contract price allocated to remaining performance obligations was $519.6 million. The estimated revenue expected to be recognized in the future related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) at the end of the reporting period is as follows (in millions): Brokerage Risk Management Total 2020 (remaining six months) $ 263.4 $ 78.7 $ 342.1 2021 79.1 41.2 120.3 2022 6.7 23.1 29.8 2023 1.0 10.5 11.5 2024 0.5 5.1 5.6 Thereafter 0.5 9.8 10.3 Total $ 351.2 $ 168.4 $ 519.6 Deferred Contract Costs We capitalize costs incurred to fulfill contracts as deferred contract costs which are included in other current assets in our consolidated balance sheet. Deferred contract costs were $70.1 million and $98.3 million as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Capitalized fulfillment costs are amortized on the contract effective date. The amount of amortization of the deferred contract costs was $208.1 million and $191.9 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. We have applied the practical expedient to recognize the incremental costs of obtaining contracts as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the assets that we otherwise would have recognized is one year or less for our brokerage segment. These costs are included in compensation and operating expenses in our consolidated statement of earnings.

Anti-dilutive stock-based awards of 1.0 million and 0.8 million shares were outstanding at June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, but were excluded in the computation of the dilutive effect of stock-based awards for the six‑month periods then ended. These stock-based awards were excluded from the computation because the exercise prices on these stock-based awards were greater than the average market price of our common shares during the respective period, and therefore, would be anti-dilutive to earnings per share under the treasury stock method.

Stock Option Plans	9. Stock Option Plans On May 16, 2017, our stockholders approved the Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. 2017 Long-Term Incentive Plan (which we refer to as the LTIP), which replaced our previous stockholder-approved Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. 2014 Long-Term Incentive Plan (which we refer to as the 2014 LTIP). The LTIP term began May 16, 2017 and terminates on the date of the annual meeting of stockholders in 2027, unless terminated earlier by our board of directors. All of our officers, employees and non-employee directors are eligible to receive awards under the LTIP. The compensation committee of our board of directors determines the annual number of shares delivered under the LTIP. The LTIP provides for non-qualified and incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and restricted stock units, any or all of which may be made contingent upon the achievement of performance criteria. Shares of our common stock available for issuance under the LTIP include authorized and unissued shares of common stock or authorized and issued shares of common stock reacquired and held as treasury shares or otherwise, or a combination thereof. The number of available shares will be reduced by the aggregate number of shares that become subject to outstanding awards granted under the LTIP. To the extent that shares subject to an outstanding award granted under either the LTIP or prior equity plans are not issued or delivered by reason of the expiration, termination, cancellation or forfeiture of such award or by reason of the settlement of such award in cash, then such shares will again be available for grant under the LTIP. The maximum number of shares available under the LTIP for restricted stock, restricted stock unit awards and performance unit awards settled with stock (i.e., all awards other than stock options and stock appreciation rights) is 2.2 million at June 30, 2020. The LTIP provides for the grant of stock options, which may be either tax-qualified incentive stock options or non-qualified options and stock appreciation rights. The compensation committee determines the period for the exercise of a non-qualified stock option, tax-qualified incentive stock option or stock appreciation right, provided that no option can be exercised later than seven years after its date of grant. The exercise price of a non-qualified stock option or tax-qualified incentive stock option and the base price of a stock appreciation right cannot be less than 100% of the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the date of grant, provided that the base price of a stock appreciation right granted in tandem with an option will be the exercise price of the related option. Upon exercise, the option exercise price may be paid in cash, by the delivery of previously owned shares of our common stock, through a net-exercise arrangement, or through a broker-assisted cashless exercise arrangement. The compensation committee determines all of the terms relating to the exercise, cancellation or other disposition of an option or stock appreciation right upon a termination of employment, whether by reason of disability, retirement, death or any other reason. Stock option and stock appreciation right awards under the LTIP are non-transferable. On March 12, 2020, the compensation committee granted 1,590,740 options under the LTIP to our officers and key employees that become exercisable at the rate of 34%, 33% and 33% on the anniversary date of the grant in 2023, 2024 and 2025, respectively. On March 14, 2019, the compensation committee granted 1,283,300 options under the LTIP to our officers and key employees that become exercisable at the rate of 34%, 33% and 33% on the anniversary date of the grant in 2022, 2023 and 2024, respectively. The 2020 and 2019 options expire seven years from the date of grant, or earlier in the event of certain terminations of employment. For our executive officers age 55 or older, stock options are not subject to forfeiture upon such officers’ departure from the company after two years from the date of grant. During the three-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we recognized $3.3 For purposes of expense recognition, the estimated fair values of the stock option grants are amortized to expense over the options’ vesting period. We estimated the fair value of stock options at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: 2020 2019 Expected dividend yield $ 1.80 $ 1.72 Expected risk-free interest rate 0.7 % 2.5 % Volatility 17.3 % 15.6 % Expected life (in years) 5.4 5.5 Option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. The Black-Scholes option pricing model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. The weighted average fair value per option for all options granted during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, as determined on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, was $9.99 and $10.71, respectively. The following is a summary of our stock option activity and related information for 2020 (in millions, except exercise price and year data): Six-month period ended June 30, 2020 Weighted Average Weighted Remaining Shares Average Contractual Aggregate Under Exercise Term Intrinsic Option Price (in years) Value Beginning balance 7.9 $ 56.40 Granted 1.6 86.17 Exercised (0.9 ) 44.95 Forfeited or canceled (0.1 ) 63.26 Ending balance 8.5 $ 63.12 4.08 $ 291.1 Exercisable at end of period 2.9 $ 46.99 2.12 $ 144.0 Ending unvested and expected to vest 5.3 $ 70.67 5.01 $ 140.8 Options with respect to 11.3 The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was $47.1 million and $48.3 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2020, we had approximately $36.0 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to nonvested options. We expect to recognize that cost over a weighted average period of approximately four years.

Deferred Compensation

Compensation Related Costs [Abstract]
Deferred Compensation	10. Deferred Compensation We have a Deferred Equity Participation Plan (which we refer to as the DEPP), which is a non-qualified plan that generally provides for distributions to certain of our key executives when they reach age 62 (or the one-year anniversary of the date of the grant for participants over the age of 61 as of the grant date) or upon or after their actual retirement. Under the provisions of the DEPP, we typically contribute cash in an amount approved by the compensation committee to a rabbi trust on behalf of the executives participating in the DEPP, and instruct the trustee to acquire a specified number of shares of our common stock on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions based on participant elections. Distributions under the DEPP may not normally be made until the participant reaches age 62 (or the one-year anniversary of the date of the grant for participants over the age of 61 as of the grant date) and are subject to forfeiture in the event of voluntary termination of employment prior to then. DEPP awards are generally made annually in the first quarter. In addition, we annually make awards under sub-plans of the DEPP for certain production staff, which generally provide for vesting and/or distributions no sooner than five years from the date of awards, although certain awards vest and/or distribute after the earlier of fifteen years or the participant reaching age 65. All contributions to the plan (including sub-plans) deemed to be invested in shares of our common stock are distributed in the form of our common stock and all other distributions are paid in cash. Our common stock that is issued to or purchased by the rabbi trust as a contribution under the DEPP is valued at historical cost, which equals its fair market value at the date of grant or date of purchase. When common stock is issued, we record an unearned deferred compensation obligation as a reduction of capital in excess of par value in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet, which is amortized to compensation expense ratably over the vesting period of the participants. Future changes in the fair market value of our common stock owed to the participants do not have any impact on the amounts recorded in our consolidated financial statements. In the first quarters of 2020 and 2019, the compensation committee approved $14.1 million and $10.1 million, respectively, of awards in the aggregate to certain key executives under the DEPP that were contributed to the rabbi trust in the first quarters of 2020 and 2019, respectively. We contributed cash to the rabbi trust and instructed the trustee to acquire a specified number of shares of our common stock on the open market to fund these 2020 and 2019 awards. During the three-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we charged $3.7 million and $2.6 million, respectively, to compensation expense related to these awards. During the six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we charged $6.0 million and $4.6 million, respectively, to compensation expense related to these awards. In the first quarters of 2020 and 2019, the compensation committee approved $1.8 million and $2.6 million, respectively, of awards under the sub-plans referred to above, which were contributed to the rabbi trust in the first quarters of 2020 and 2019, respectively. During the three-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we charged $0.7 million and $0.7 million, respectively, to compensation expense related to these awards. During the six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we charged $1.4 million and $1.2 million, respectively, to compensation expense related to these awards. There were no distributions from the sub-plans during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. At June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we recorded $70.7 million (related to 2.9 million shares) and $64.5 million (related to 2.9 million shares), respectively, of unearned deferred compensation as a reduction of capital in excess of par value in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The total intrinsic value of our unvested equity-based awards under the plan at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was $283.8 million and $276.3 million, respectively. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2020, cash and equity awards with an aggregate fair value of $9.8 million was vested and distributed to executives under the DEPP. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, cash and equity awards with an aggregate fair value of $1.3 million was vested and distributed to executives under the DEPP. We have a Deferred Cash Participation Plan (which we refer to as the DCPP), which is a non-qualified deferred compensation plan for certain key employees, other than executive officers, that generally provides for vesting and/or distributions no sooner than five years from the date of awards. Under the provisions of the DCPP, we typically contribute cash in an amount approved by the compensation committee to the rabbi trust on behalf of the executives participating in the DCPP, and instruct the trustee to acquire a specified number of shares of our common stock on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions based on participant elections. In the first quarters of 2020 and 2019, the compensation committee approved $3.0 million and $2.4 million, respectively, of awards in the aggregate to certain key executives under the DCPP that were contributed to the rabbi trust in the second quarters of 2020 and 2019, respectively. During the three‑month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we charged $1.7 million and $1.2 million, respectively, to compensation expense related to these awards. During the six‑month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we charged $3.4 million and $2.3 million, respectively, to compensation expense related to these awards. There were $7.3 million of distributions from the DCPP during the six-month period ended June 30, 2020. There were $2.5 million of distributions from the DCPP during the six-month period ended June 30, 2019.

Restricted Stock, Performance Share and Cash Awards	11. Restricted Stock, Performance Share and Cash Awards Restricted Stock Awards As discussed in Note 9 to these unaudited consolidated financial statements, on May 16, 2017, our stockholders approved the LTIP, which replaced our previous stockholder-approved 2014 LTIP. The LTIP provides for the grant of a stock award either as restricted stock or as restricted stock units to officers, employees and non-employee directors. In either case, the compensation committee may determine that the award will be subject to the attainment of performance measures over an established performance period. Stock awards and the related dividend equivalents are non-transferable and subject to forfeiture if the holder does not remain continuously employed with us during the applicable restriction period or, in the case of a performance-based award, if applicable performance measures are not attained. The compensation committee will determine all of the terms relating to the satisfaction of performance measures and the termination of a restriction period, or the forfeiture and cancellation of a restricted stock award upon a termination of employment, whether by reason of disability, retirement, death or any other reason. The agreements awarding restricted stock units under the LTIP will specify whether such awards may be settled in shares of our common stock, cash or a combination of shares and cash and whether the holder will be entitled to receive dividend equivalents, on a current or deferred basis, with respect to such award. Prior to the settlement of a restricted stock unit, the holder of a restricted stock unit will have no rights as a stockholder of the company. The maximum number of shares available under the LTIP for restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance unit awards settled with stock (i.e., all awards other than stock options and stock appreciation rights) is 4.0 million. At June 30, 2020, 2.2 million shares were available for grant under the LTIP for such awards. In the first quarters of 2020 and 2019, we granted 405,900 and 399,900 restricted stock units, respectively, to employees under the LTIP, with an aggregate fair value of $34.9 million and $31.8 million, respectively, at the date of grant. These 2020 and 2019 awards of restricted stock units vest as follows: 405,900 units granted in the first quarter of 2020 and 399,900 units granted in the first quarter of 2019, vest in full based on continued employment through March 12, 2025 and March 14, 2024, respectively. For our executive officers age 55 or older, restricted stock units are not subject to forfeiture upon such officers’ departure from the company after two years from the date of grant. We account for restricted stock awards at historical cost, which equals its fair market value at the date of grant, which is amortized to compensation expense ratably over the vesting period of the participants. Future changes in the fair value of our common stock that is owed to the participants do not have any impact on the amounts recorded in our consolidated financial statements. During the three-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we recognized $9.5 million and $8.4 million, respectively, to compensation expense related to restricted stock unit awards granted in 2012 through 2020. During the six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we recognized $20.1 million and $14.8 million, respectively, to compensation expense related to restricted stock unit awards granted in 2012 through 2020. The total intrinsic value of unvested restricted stock units at June 30, 2020 and 2019 was $228.5 million and $199.7 million, respectively. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2020, equity awards (including accrued dividends) with an aggregate value of $30.6 million, were vested and distributed to employees under this plan. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2019 equity awards with an aggregate fair value of $2.0 million, were vested and distributed to employees under this plan Performance Share Awards On March 12, 2020 and March 14, 2019, pursuant to the LTIP, the compensation committee approved 82,500 and 73,600, respectively, of provisional performance share awards, with an aggregate fair value of $7.1 million and $5.8 million, respectively, for future grants to our officers and key employees. Each performance share award was equivalent to the value of one share of our common stock on the date such provisional award was approved. At the end of the performance period, eligible participants will receive a number of earned shares based on the growth in adjusted EBITDAC per share (as defined in our 2020 Proxy Statement). Earned shares for the 2020 and 2019 provisional awards will fully vest based on continuous employment through March 12, 2023 and March 14, 2022, respectively, and will be settled in unrestricted shares of our common stock on a one-for-one basis as soon as practicable thereafter. The 2020 and 2019 awards are subject to a three-year performance period that began on January 1, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and vest on the three-year anniversary of the date of grant (March 12, 2023 and March 14, 2022). For certain of our executive officers age 55 or older, awards are no longer subject to forfeiture upon such officers’ departure from the company after two years from the date of grant. During the six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, equity awards (including accrued dividends) with an aggregate fair value of $12.5 million and $5.7 million, were vested and distributed to employees under this plan. Cash Awards On March 12, 2020, pursuant to our Performance Unit Program (which we refer to as the Program), the compensation committee approved provisional cash awards of $18.4 million in the aggregate for future grants to our officers and key employees that are denominated in units (213,000 units in the aggregate), each of which was equivalent to the value of one share of our common stock on the date the provisional award was approved. The Program consists of a one-year three-year On March 14, 2019, pursuant to the Program, the compensation committee approved provisional cash awards of $16.5 million in the aggregate for future grants to our officers and key employees that are denominated in units (206,800 units in the aggregate), each of which was equivalent to the value of one share of our common stock on the date the provisional award was approved. Terms of the 2019 provisional awards were similar to the terms of the 2020 provisional awards. Based on our performance for 2019, we granted 200,000 units under the Program in the first quarter of 2020 that will fully vest on January 1, 2022. During the three-month period ended June 30, 2020, we recognized $1.9 million to compensation expense related to these awards. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2020, we recognized $4.1 million to compensation expense related to these awards. We did not recognize any compensation expense during the six-month period ended June 30, 2019 related to the 2019 provisional award under the Program. On March 15, 2018, pursuant to the Program, the compensation committee approved provisional cash awards of $15.0 million in the aggregate for future grants to our officers and key employees denominated in units (219,000 units in the aggregate), each of which was equivalent to the value of one share of our common stock on the date the provisional award was approved. Terms of the 2018 provisional awards were similar to the terms of the 2019 provisional awards. Based on our performance, we granted 190,000 units under the Program in the first quarter of 2019 that will fully vest on January 1, 2021. During the three-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we recognized $0.9 million and $2.2 million to compensation expense related to these 2018 awards, respectively. During the six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we recognized $3.5 million and $4.1 million, respectively, to compensation expense related to restricted stock unit awards granted in 2012 through 2020. On March 16, 2017, pursuant to the Program, the compensation committee approved provisional cash awards of $14.3 million in the aggregate for future grant to our officers and key employees denominated in units (255,000 units in the aggregate), each of which was equivalent to the value of one share of our common stock on the date the provisional awards were approved. Terms of the 2017 provisional awards were similar to the terms of the 2018 provisional awards. Based on our performance for 2017, we granted 242,000 units under the Program in the first quarter of 2018 that fully vested on January 1, 2020. During the three-month period ended June 30, 2019, we recognized $2.6 million to compensation expense related to these 2017 awards. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, we recognized $5.0 million to compensation expense related to these 2017 awards. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2020, cash awards related to the 2017 provisional award with an aggregate fair value of $18.9 million (221,600 units in the aggregate) were vested and distributed to employees under the Program.

Derivative Instruments And Hedging Activities Disclosure Abstract
Derivatives and Hedging Activity	13. Derivatives and Hedging Activity We are exposed to market risks, including changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. To manage the risk related to these exposures, we enter into various derivative instruments that reduce these risks by creating offsetting exposures. We generally do not enter into derivative transactions for trading or speculative purposes. Foreign Exchange Risk Management We are exposed to foreign exchange risk when we earn revenues, pay expenses, or enter into monetary intercompany transfers denominated in a currency that differs from our functional currency, or other transactions that are denominated in a currency other than our functional currency. We use foreign exchange derivatives, typically forward contracts and options, to reduce our overall exposure to the effects of currency fluctuations on cash flows. These exposures are hedged, on average, for less than three years. Interest Rate Risk Management We enter into various long-term debt agreements. We use interest rate derivatives, typically swaps, to reduce our exposure to the effects of interest rate fluctuations on the forecasted interest rates for up to three years into the future. We have not received or pledged any collateral related to derivative arrangements at June 30, 2020. The notional and fair values of derivatives designated as hedging instruments are as follows at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 (in millions): Derivative Assets Derivative Liabilities Notional Balance Sheet Fair Balance Sheet Fair Instrument Amount Classification Value Classification Value At June 30, 2020 Interest rate contracts $ 550.0 Other current assets $ — Accrued compensation and other current liabilities $ 31.5 Other noncurrent assets — Other noncurrent liabilities 50.0 Foreign exchange contracts (1) 62.2 Other current assets 1.1 Accrued compensation and other current liabilities 4.8 0 Other noncurrent assets 2.4 Other noncurrent liabilities 5.3 Total $ 612.2 $ 3.5 $ 91.6 At December 31, 2019 Interest rate contracts $ 800.0 Other current assets $ 2.8 Accrued compensation and other current liabilities $ 25.0 Other noncurrent assets 5.4 Other noncurrent liabilities 23.0 Foreign exchange contracts (1) 31.7 Other current assets 4.5 Accrued compensation and other current liabilities 1.8 Other noncurrent assets 8.5 Other noncurrent liabilities 2.6 Total $ 831.7 $ 21.2 $ 52.4 ( 1 ) Included within foreign exchange contracts at June 30, 2020 were $253.7 million of call options offset with $253.7 million of put options, and $11.7 million of buy forwards offset with $73.9 million of sell forwards. Included within foreign exchange contracts at December 31, 2019 were $342.0 million of call options offset with $342.0 million of put options, and $12.1 million of buy forwards offset with $43.8 million of sell forwards. The effect of cash flow hedge accounting on accumulated other comprehensive loss for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 were as follows (in millions): Amount of Amount of Gain (Loss) Gain (Loss) Recognized Amount of Reclassified in Earnings Gain (Loss) from Related to Recognized in Accumulated Amount Accumulated Other Excluded Other Comprehensive from Comprehensive Loss into Effectiveness Statement of Earnings Instrument Loss (1) Earnings Testing Classification Three-month period ended June 30, 2020 Interest rate contracts $ 6.1 $ (0.3 ) $ — Interest expense Foreign exchange contracts 2.0 (0.1 ) (0.1 ) Commission revenue (0.5 ) 0.4 Compensation expense (0.4 ) 0.2 Operating expense Total $ 8.1 $ (1.3 ) $ 0.5 Three-month period ended June 30, 2019 Interest rate contracts $ (25.8 ) $ (0.3 ) $ — Interest expense Foreign exchange contracts (3.6 ) (0.1 ) (0.2 ) Commission revenue (0.4 ) 0.3 Compensation expense (0.4 ) 0.3 Operating expense Total $ (29.4 ) $ (1.2 ) $ 0.4 Six-month period ended June 30, 2020 Interest rate contracts $ (108.1 ) $ (0.6 ) $ — Interest expense Foreign exchange contracts (17.3 ) (0.5 ) (0.3 ) Commission revenue (0.8 ) 0.6 Compensation expense (0.6 ) 0.4 Operating expense Total $ (125.4 ) $ (2.5 ) $ 0.7 Six-month period ended June 30, 2019 Interest rate contracts $ (46.7 ) $ (0.6 ) $ — Interest expense Foreign exchange contracts 0.1 (0.2 ) (0.4 ) Commission revenue (0.6 ) 0.7 Compensation expense (0.5 ) 0.5 Operating expense Total $ (46.6 ) $ (1.9 ) $ 0.8 (1) For the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020, the amount excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness for our foreign exchange contracts recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss was a loss of $0.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively. We estimate that approximately $11.3 million of pretax loss currently included within accumulated other comprehensive loss will be reclassified into earnings in the next twelve months. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we settled approximately $66.0 million of interest rate contracts hedges with a notional value of $350.0 million that will be amortized into interest expense in future periods.

Note Purchase Agreements, Credit Agreement and Premium Financing Debt Facility - See Note 7 to these unaudited consolidated financial statements for a summary of the amounts outstanding under the note purchase agreements, the Credit Agreement and Premium Financing Debt Facility. Operating Lease Obligations - Our corporate segment’s executive offices and certain subsidiary and branch facilities of our brokerage and risk management segments are located in a building we own at 2850 Golf Road, Rolling Meadows, Illinois, where we have approximately 360,000 square feet of space and will accommodate approximately 2,000 employees at peak pre-pandemic capacity We generally operate in leased premises at our other locations. Certain of these leases have options permitting renewals for additional periods. In addition to minimum fixed rentals, a number of leases contain annual escalation clauses which are generally related to increases in an inflation index. We have leased certain office space to several non-affiliated tenants under operating sublease arrangements. In the normal course of business, we expect that certain of these leases will not be renewed or replaced. We adjust charges for real estate taxes and common area maintenance annually based on actual expenses, and we recognize the related revenues in the year in which the expenses are incurred. These amounts are not included in the minimum future rentals to be received in the contractual obligations table above. Outstanding Purchase Obligations - The amount disclosed in the contractual obligations table above represents the aggregate amount of unrecorded purchase obligations that we had outstanding at June 30, 2020. These obligations represent agreements to purchase goods or services that were executed in the normal course of business. Off-Balance Sheet Commitments Our total unrecorded commitments associated with outstanding letters of credit, and financial guarantees as of June 30, 2020 were as follows (in millions): Total Amount of Commitment Expiration by Period Amounts Off-Balance Sheet Commitments 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 Thereafter Committed Letters of credit $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — $ 18.3 $ 18.3 Financial guarantees 0.1 0.2 0.2 0.2 0.2 0.3 1.2 Funding commitments 2.1 — — — — — 2.1 Total commitments $ 2.2 $ 0.2 $ 0.2 $ 0.2 $ 0.2 $ 18.6 $ 21.6 Since commitments may expire unused, the amounts presented in the table above do not necessarily reflect our actual future cash funding requirements. See the Off ‑ Balance Sheet Debt section below for a discussion of our letters of c r edit . All of the letters of credit represent multiple year commitments that have annual, automatic renewing provisions and are classified by the latest commitment date. Since January 1, 2002, we have acquired 568 companies, all of which were accounted for using the acquisition method for recording business combinations. Substantially all of the purchase agreements related to these acquisitions contain provisions for potential earnout obligations. For all of our acquisitions made in the period from 2016 to 2020 that contain potential earnout obligations, such obligations are measured at fair value as of the acquisition date and are included on that basis in the recorded purchase price consideration for the respective acquisition. The amounts recorded as earnout payables are primarily based upon estimated future potential operating results of the acquired entities over a two- to three-year period subsequent to the acquisition date. The aggregate amount of the maximum earnout obligations related to these acquisitions was $1,060.7 million, of which $474.0 million was recorded in our consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2020 based on the estimated fair value of the expected future payments to be made. Off-Balance Sheet Debt Our unconsolidated investment portfolio includes investments in enterprises where our ownership interest is between 1% and 50%, in which management has determined that our level of influence and economic interest is not sufficient to require consolidation. As a result, these investments are accounted for under the equity method. None of these unconsolidated investments had any outstanding debt at June 30, 2020 or December 31, 2019, that was recourse to us At June 30, 2020, we had posted two letters of credit totaling $9.4 million, in the aggregate, related to our self‑insurance deductibles, for which we had a recorded liability of $17.1 million. We have an equity investment in a rent-a-captive facility, which we use as a placement facility for certain of our insurance brokerage operations. At June 30, 2020, we had posted seven letters of credit totaling $7.5 million to allow certain of our captive operations to meet minimum statutory surplus requirements plus additional collateral related to premium and claim funds held in a fiduciary capacity, one letter of credit totaling $0.9 million for collateral related to claim funds held in a fiduciary capacity by a recent acquisition, and one letter of credit totaling $0.5 million as a security deposit for a 2015 acquisition’s lease. These letters of credit have never been drawn upon. Litigation, Regulatory and Taxation Matters - We are a defendant in various legal actions incidental to the nature of our business including but not limited to matters related to employment practices, alleged breaches of non‑compete or other restrictive covenants, theft of trade secrets, breaches of fiduciary duties and related causes of action. We are also periodically the subject of inquiries, investigations and reviews by regulatory and taxing authorities into various matters related to our business, including our operational, compliance and finance functions. Neither the outcomes of these matters nor their effect upon our business, financial condition or results of operations can be determined at this time. On July 17, 2019, Midwest Energy Emissions Corp. and MES Inc. (which we refer to together as Midwest Energy) filed a patent infringement lawsuit in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware against us, Chem‑Mod LLC and numerous other related and unrelated parties. The complaint alleges that the named defendants infringe two patents held exclusively by Midwest Energy and seeks unspecified damages and injunctive relief. On July 15, 2020, the district court dismissed Midwest Energy’s complaint without prejudice. On the same day Midwest Energy filed an amended complaint. We continue to dispute the allegations contained in the complaint and are defending this matter vigorously. Litigation is inherently uncertain and it is not possible for us to predict the ultimate outcome of this matter and the financial impact to us. We believe the probability of a material loss is remote. As previously disclosed, our IRC 831(b) (or “micro-captive”) advisory services business has been under investigation by the IRS since 2013. Among other matters, the IRS is investigating whether we have been acting as a tax shelter promoter in connection with these operations. Additionally, the IRS has initiated audits for the 2012 tax year, and subsequent years, or over 100 of the micro-captive underwriting enterprises organized and/or managed by us. In May 2020 we learned that the Department of Justice is conducting a criminal investigation related to IRC 831(b) micro-captive underwriting enterprises. We have been advised that we are not currently a target of the investigation. In June 2020 our subsidiary Artex Risk Solutions, Inc. (which we refer to as Artex) received a grand jury subpoena requesting documents relating to its micro‑captive advisory business. We are in the process of responding to the subpoena. We are fully cooperating with both the IRS investigation and the Department of Justice investigation. We are not able to reasonably estimate the amount of any potential loss in connection with these investigations. On December 7, 2018, a class action lawsuit was filed against us, Artex and other defendants , in the United States District Court for the District of Arizona . The named plaintiffs are micro-captive s and related entities and owners who had IR C Section 831(b) tax benefits disallowed by the IRS. The named plaintiffs are seeking to certify a class of all persons who were assessed back taxes, penalties or interest by the IRS as a result of their ownership of or involvement in an IR C Section 831(b) micro-captive during the time period January 1, 20 0 5 to the present. The complaint does not specify the amount of damages sought by the named plaintiffs or the putative class. On August 5, 2019, the trial court granted the defendants’ motion to compel arbitration and dismissed the class action lawsuit. Plaintiffs appeal ed this ruling to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit , which held an oral argument on the appeal on July 7, 2020 . We will continue to defend against the lawsuit vigorously . Litigation is inherently uncertain, however, and it is not possible for us to predict the ultimate outcome of this matter and the financial impact to us , nor are we able to reasonably estimate the amount of any potential loss in connection with this lawsuit. Contingent Liabilities - We purchase insurance to provide protection from errors and omissions (which we refer to as E&O) claims that may arise during the ordinary course of business. We currently retain the first $10.0 million of every E&O claim. Our E&O insurance provides aggregate coverage for E&O losses up to $350.0 million in excess of our retained amounts. We have historically maintained self-insurance reserves for the portion of our E&O exposure that is not insured. We periodically determine a range of possible reserve levels using actuarial techniques that rely heavily on projecting historical claim data into the future. Our E&O reserve in the June 30, 2020 consolidated balance sheet is above the lower end of the most recently determined actuarial range by $3.0 million and below the upper end of the actuarial range by $5.8 million. In addition to this E&O reserve, in the three-month period ended June 30, 2020, we established provisions for potential unusual pandemic related claim defense and other costs. We can make no assurances that the historical claim data used to project the current reserve levels will be indicative of future claim activity. Thus, the E&O reserve level and corresponding actuarial range could change in the future as more information becomes known, which could materially impact the amounts reported and disclosed herein Tax-advantaged Investments No Longer Held - Between 1996 and 2007, we developed and then sold portions of our ownership in various energy related investments, many of which qualified for tax credits under IRC Section 29. We recorded tax benefits in connection with our ownership in these investments. At June 30, 2020, we had exposure on $108.0 million of previously earned tax credits. Under the Tax Act, a portion of these previously earned tax credits were refunded in 2019 for tax year 2018, according to a specific formula. Under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the CARES Act), which was passed on March 27, 2020, we have accelerated the refund of all remaining credits on April 17, 2020. The remaining credits were refunded in second quarter of 2020. In 2004, 2007 and 2009, the IRS examined several of these investments and all examinations were closed without any changes being proposed by the IRS. However, any future adverse tax audits, administrative rulings or judicial decisions could disallow previously claimed tax credits Due to the contingent nature of this exposure and our related assessment of its likelihood, no reserve has been recorded in our June 30, 2020 consolidated balance sheet related to this exposure.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment Information	17. We have three reportable segments: brokerage, risk management and corporate. The brokerage segment is primarily comprised of our retail and wholesale insurance brokerage operations. The segment generates revenues through The risk management segment provides contract claim settlement and administration services for enterprises and public entities that choose to self-insure some or all of their property/casualty coverages and for underwriting enterprises that choose to outsource some or all of their property/casualty claims departments. These operations also provide claims management, loss control consulting and insurance property appraisal services. Revenues are principally generated on a negotiated per-claim or per-service fee basis. Our risk management segment also provides risk management consulting services that are recognized as the services are delivered. The corporate segment manages Allocations of investment income and certain expenses are based on reasonable assumptions and estimates primarily using revenue, headcount and other information. We allocate the provision for income taxes to the brokerage and risk management segments using the local country statutory rates. Reported operating results by segment would change if different methods were applied. Financial information relating to our segments for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 is as follows (in millions): Three-month period ended June 30, Six-month period ended June 30, 2020 2019 2020 2019 Brokerage Total revenues $ 1,201.1 $ 1,131.2 $ 2,636.7 $ 2,513.1 Earnings before income taxes $ 247.8 $ 182.3 $ 658.6 $ 594.7 Identifiable assets at June 30, 2020 and 2019 $ 18,405.6 $ 16,464.3 Risk Management Total revenues $ 223.2 $ 242.1 $ 472.7 $ 478.5 Earnings before income taxes $ 13.2 $ 21.0 $ 38.8 $ 43.0 Identifiable assets at June 30, 2020 and 2019 $ 929.1 $ 847.9 Corporate Total revenues $ 159.7 $ 284.5 $ 341.5 $ 656.8 Loss before income taxes $ (89.3 ) $ (97.8 ) $ (169.7 ) $ (210.4 ) Identifiable assets at June 30, 2020 and 2019 $ 1,971.5 $ 1,888.1 Total Total revenues $ 1,584.0 $ 1,657.8 $ 3,450.9 $ 3,648.4 Earnings before income taxes $ 171.7 $ 105.5 $ 527.7 $ 427.3 Identifiable assets at June 30, 2020 and 2019 $ 21,306.2 $ 19,200.3 Disaggregation of Revenue We disaggregate our revenue from contracts with clients by type and geographic location for each of our segments, as we believe it best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of our revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation	Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. and its subsidiaries, collectively referred to herein as we, our, us or the company, provide insurance brokerage, consulting and third party claims settlement and administration services to both domestic and international entities. We have three reportable segments: brokerage, risk management and corporate. Our brokers, agents and administrators act as intermediaries between underwriting enterprises and our clients. Our brokerage segment operations provide brokerage and consulting services to companies and entities of all types, including commercial, not-for-profit, public entities, and, to a lesser extent, individuals, in the areas of insurance placement, risk of loss management, and management of employer sponsored benefit programs. Our risk management segment operations provide contract claim settlement, claim administration, loss control services and risk management consulting for commercial, not-for-profit, captive and public entities, and various other organizations that choose to self-insure property/casualty coverages or choose to use a third-party claims management organization rather than the claim services provided by underwriting enterprises. The corporate segment reports the financial information related to our debt and other corporate costs, clean energy investments, external acquisition-related expenses and the impact of foreign currency translation. Clean energy investments consist of our investments in limited liability companies that own 35 commercial clean coal production facilities producing refined coal using Chem-Mod LLC’s proprietary technologies. We believe these operations produce refined coal that qualifies for tax credits under IRC Section 45. We do not assume underwriting risk on a net basis, other than with respect to de minimis amounts necessary to provide minimum or regulatory capital to organize captives, pools, specialized underwriters or risk-retention groups. Rather, capital for covering losses is provided by underwriting enterprises. Investment income and other revenues are primarily generated from our premium financing operations, our invested cash and restricted cash we hold on behalf of our clients, as well as clean energy investments. In addition, our share of the net earnings related to partially owned entities that are accounted for using the equity method is included in investment income. We are headquartered in Rolling Meadows, Illinois, have operations in 49 countries and offer client-service capabilities in more than 150 countries globally through a network of correspondent insurance brokers and consultants. We have prepared the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein are, in the opinion of management, prepared on a basis consistent with our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 , except as disclosed in Note 2, and include all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the information set forth. The quarterly results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be reported for subsequent quarters or the full year. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 1 0-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 . In the preparation of our unaudited consolidated financial statements as of June 30 , 2020 , management evaluated all material subsequent events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date through the date on which the financial statements were issued, for potential recognition or disclosure therein.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These accounting principles require us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and revenues and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our consolidated financial statements. We periodically evaluate our estimates and assumptions, including those relating to the valuation of goodwill and other intangible assets, right-of-use assets, investments (including our IRC Section 45 investments), income taxes, revenue recognition, deferred costs, stock-based compensation, claims handling obligations, retirement plans, litigation and contingencies. We base our estimates on historical experience and various assumptions that we believe to be reasonable based on specific circumstances. Such estimates and assumptions could change in the future as more information becomes known, which could impact the amounts reported and disclosed herein.
