=============================================================================
                                     PART I
      
      ITEM 1.  BUSINESS
      
      The Company
      
          Hilb, Rogal and Hamilton Company (the Company), through its network
      of wholly-owned subsidiary insurance agencies (the Agencies), places 
      various types of insurance, including property, casualty, marine, aviation
      and employee benefits insurance, with insurance underwriters on behalf of 
      its clients.  The Agencies operate 56 offices in 16 states and five 
      Canadian provinces.  The Company's client base ranges from personal to 
      large national accounts and is primarily comprised of medium-size 
      commercial and industrial accounts.  Insurance commissions accounted 
      for approximately 93% of the Company's total revenues in 1995.  The
      Company also advises clients on risk management and employee benefits and
      provides claims administration and loss control consulting services to 
      clients, which contributed approximately 2% of revenues in 1995.
      
          The Company has grown principally through acquisitions of independent
      agencies with significant local market shares in small to medium-size 
      metropolitan areas.  Since 1984, the Company has acquired 148 independent 
      agencies.  The Company's growth strategy emphasizes acquisitions of 
      established independent agencies staffed by local professionals and 
      centralization of certain administrative functions to allow agents to 
      focus on business production.  The Company believes that a key to its 
      success has been a strong emphasis on local client service by
      experienced personnel with established community relationships.  The 
      Company generally pursues growth in markets where it believes it can 
      achieve a significant market position.  The Company expects to continue 
      seeking opportunities to add qualified agencies in both existing and new 
      markets.
      
          The Agencies act as independent agents representing a large number of
      insurance companies, which gives the Company access to specialized 
      products and capacity needed by its clients.  Agencies are staffed to 
      handle the broad variety of insurance needs of their clients.  
      Additionally, certain Agencies have developed special expertise in 
      areas such as aviation, construction and marine insurance services, and 
      this expertise is made available to clients throughout the Company.
      
          The Company has established direct access to certain foreign insurance
      markets without the need to share commissions with excess and surplus 
      lines brokers.  This direct access allows the Company to enhance its 
      revenues from insurance products written by foreign insurers and allows 
      it to provide a broader array of insurance products to its clients.
      
          While the Agencies have historically been largely decentralized with 
      respect to client solicitation, account maintenance, underwriting 
      decisions, selection of insurance carriers and areas of insurance 
      specialization, the Company maintains centralized administrative 
      functions, including cash management and investment, human resources and 
      legal functions, through its corporate headquarters.  Accounting records 
      and systems are maintained at each Agency, but the Company requires each 
      Agency to comply with standardized financial reporting and control 
      requirements.  Through its internal auditing department, Company 
      personnel periodically visit each Agency and monitor compliance with 
      internal accounting controls and procedures.
            
           In the latter part of 1995, the Company created regional operating
      units to coordinate the efforts of several local offices in a 
      geographic area to focus on markets, account retention, client service
      and new business production.  The five U.S. regions are the Mid-Altantic
      (Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland and Virginia); Georgia/Alabama; 
      Florida; Texas and California.  The Canadian operation with its six 
      locations form a sixth region.  Regional management of a sizeable mass  
      of coordinated and complementary resources will enable each Agency to 
      address a broader spectrum of client needs and respond more quickly
      and expertly than each could do on a stand-alone basis.  Additionally, 
      operations were streamlined by merging multiple locations in the same city
      into a single profit center and converting smaller locations into sales
      offices of a larger profit center in the same region.

          The Company derives income primarily from commissions on the sale of
      insurance products to clients paid by the insurance underwriters with 
      whom the Agencies place their clients' insurance.  The Company acts as 
      an agent in soliciting, negotiating and effecting contracts of insurance 
      through insurance companies and occasionally as a broker in procuring 
      contracts of insurance on behalf of insureds.  The Company derived in 
      excess of 98% of its commission and fee revenue in 1995 from the sale of 
      insurance products, principally property and casualty insurance.  
      Accordingly, no breakdown by industry segments has been made.  The 
      balance is primarily derived from employee benefits and third party
      claims administration.  Within its range of services, the Company also 
      places surplus lines coverages (coverages not available from insurance 
      companies licensed by the states in which the risks are located) with 
      surplus lines insurers for various specialized risks.
      
          Insurance agents' commissions are generally a percentage of the 
      premium paid by the client.  Commission rates vary substantially within 
      the insurance industry.  Commissions depend upon a number of factors, 
      including the type of insurance, the amount of the premium, the 
      particular insurer, the capacity in which the Company acts and the scope 
      of the services it renders to the client.  In some cases, the Company or 
      an Agency is compensated by a fee paid by the client directly.  The 
      Company may also receive contingent commissions which are based on the 
      profit an insurance company makes on the overall volume of business
      placed with it by the Company.  Contingent commissions are generally 
      received in the first quarter of each year and, accordingly, may cause 
      first quarter revenues and earnings to vary from other quarterly results.
      
          The Company provides a variety of professional services to assist 
      clients in analyzing risks and in determining whether protection against 
      risks is best obtained through the purchase of insurance or through 
      retention of all or a portion of those risks and the adoption of risk 
      management policies and cost-effective loss control and prevention 
      programs.
      
          No material part of the Company's business is dependent on a single 
      client or on a few clients, and the Company does not depend on a single 
      industry or type of client for a substantial amount of its business.  In 
      1995, the largest single client accounted for less than .9% of the 
      Company's total revenues.
      
      Operating History and Acquisition Program
      
          The Company was formed in 1982 to acquire and continue an existing
      insurance agency network.  At that time, the Company undertook a program 
      of consolidating agencies, closing or selling unprofitable locations and 
      acquiring new agencies.  Since 1984, a total of 148 agencies have been 
      acquired.  Ninety-eight of those agencies were acquired using the 
      purchase method of accounting at a total purchase price of approximately 
      $93.6 million.  In a purchase acquisition, the purchase price of an 
      agency is typically paid in cash and deferred cash payments.  In some 
      cases, a portion of the purchase price may also be paid in Common
      Stock.  Since November 1, 1988, 50  agencies have been acquired under the
      pooling-of-interests method of accounting in exchange for a total of 
      approximately 8.1 million shares of Common Stock of the Company.  The 
      Company believes that the public market for its Common Stock, existing 
      since 1987, has and will continue to enhance its ability to acquire 
      agencies.
      
          The Company has substantial experience in acquiring insurance 
      agencies.  Each acquisition candidate is subjected to a due diligence 
      process in which the Company evaluates the quality and reputation of the 
      business and its management, revenues and earnings, administrative and 
      accounting records, growth potential and location.  For candidates that 
      pass this screening process, the Company uses a pricing method that 
      emphasizes pro forma revenues, profits and tangible net worth.  As a 
      condition to completing an acquisition, the Company requires that the 
      principals execute Company-prepared covenants not to compete
      and other restrictive covenants and that agents execute non-piracy 
      agreements.  Once the acquisition is consummated, the Company takes steps 
      to introduce its procedures and protocols and to integrate the agency's 
      systems and employees into the Company.

      Recent Developments 
      
          During 1995, the Company acquired 14 insurance agencies.  See "Note
      J--Acquisitions" of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the
      Company's 1995 Annual Report to Shareholders which is incorporated herein 
      by reference for a description of these acquisitions.
      
          Subsequent to December 31, 1995, the Company acquired certain assets
      and liabilities of three insurance agencies for $1,811,000 ($1,276,000 in 
      cash and 40,000 shares of Common Stock).  These transactions will be 
      accounted for as purchase transactions.  See "Note M--Subsequent Events" 
      of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company's 1995 
      Annual Report to Shareholders which is incorporated herein by reference.
      
      Competition
      
          The Company participates in a very competitive industry.  It is a 
      leading independent insurance agency company serving a wide variety of 
      clients through its network of wholly-owned subsidiaries which operate 56 
      independent insurance agencies located in 16 states and five Canadian 
      provinces.  Many of the Company's competitors are larger and have greater 
      resources than the Company and operate on an international scale.
      
          In some of the Agencies' cities, because no major national insurance
      broker has established a presence, the Company competes with local agents,
      some of whom may be larger than the Company's local Agency.
      
          The Company's larger competitors also have extensive facilities to 
      manage captive insurance companies or self-insurance programs for larger 
      clients, while the Company has only a limited ability to administer 
      self-insurance and does not currently manage any captive insurance 
      companies.    
      
          The Company is also in competition with certain insurance companies
      which write insurance directly for their customers, as well as self-
      insurance and other employer sponsored programs.
      
      Employees
      
          As of December 31, 1995, the Company had approximately 1,700
      employees.  No employees are currently represented by a union.  The 
      Company believes its relations with its employees are good.
      
      Regulation
      
          In every state in which the Company does business, the applicable 
      Agency or an employee is required to be licensed or to have received 
      regulatory approval by the state insurance department in order for the 
      Company to conduct business. In addition to licensing requirements 
      applicable to the Company, most jurisdictions require individuals who 
      engage in brokerage and certain insurance service activities to be 
      licensed personally.
      
          The Company's operations depend on the validity of and its continued
      good standing under the licenses and approvals pursuant to which it 
      operates.  Licensing laws and regulations vary from jurisdiction to 
      jurisdiction.  In all jurisdictions, the applicable licensing laws and 
      regulations are subject to amendment or interpretation by regulatory 
      authorities, and generally such authorities are vested with general 
      discretion as to the grant, renewal and revocation of licenses and 
      approvals.

      ITEM 2.   PROPERTIES
      
          Except as mentioned below, the Company leases its Agencies' offices.  
      For information with respect to the Company's lease commitments see "Note
      H--Leases" of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 
      Company's 1995 Annual Report to Shareholders which is incorporated herein 
      by reference.
      
          At December 31, 1995, the Company owned seven buildings in Richmond
      and Charlottesville, Virginia; Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; Daytona Beach and 
      Fort Myers, Florida; Mobile, Alabama and Victoria, Texas (the Richmond, 
      Virginia building being subject to a mortgage), in which the Agencies in 
      those cities are located.  See "Note D--Long-Term Debt and Override 
      Commission Agreements" of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 
      in the Company's 1995 Annual Report to Shareholders which is incorporated 
      herein by reference for information regarding mortgage notes payable and 
      related collateral property.
      
      ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
      
          The Company and its Agencies have no material pending legal 
      proceedings other than ordinary, routine litigation incidental to the 
      business, to which it or a subsidiary is a party.  With respect to the 
      routine litigation, upon the advice of counsel, management believes that 
      none of these proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, if 
      determined adversely to the Company, would have a material effect on the 
      financial position or results of operations of the Company or its ability 
      to carry on its business as currently conducted. 
      
      ITEM 4.  SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
      
          No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the 
      fourth quarter of the fiscal year covered by this report.

          The reports of independent auditors and financial statement schedule 
      (as indexed in Item 14(a)(2)) of this report are as follows:



               Report of Ernst & Young LLP, Independent Auditors
               -------------------------------------------------       
      
      
      Shareholders and Board of Directors
      Hilb, Rogal and Hamilton Company
      
      
      We have audited the consolidated balance sheet of Hilb, Rogal and Hamilton
      Company and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related
      consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity and cash flows 
      for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995 
      (incorporated by reference herein).  Our audits also included the 
      financial statement schedule listed in the index at Item 14(a).  These 
      financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company's 
      management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these 
      financial statements and schedule based on our audits.                    
      
      We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
      standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
      obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are 
      free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test 
      basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial 
      statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles 
      used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating 
      the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits 
      provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
      
      In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above 
      present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial 
      position of Hilb, Rogal and Hamilton Company and subsidiaries at December 
      31, 1995 and 1994, and the consolidated results of their operations and 
      their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 
      31, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.  
      Also, in our opinion,  the related financial statement schedule, when 
      considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a 
      whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set 
      forth therein.
