Gallagher hires Sarah Dezes to lead tax insurance in France
Dezes will join Gallagher on August 17, 2026, and focus on structuring tax insurance for private capital funds and deals across France.
Global insurance broker Gallagher is expanding its tax insurance offering for private equity and M&A by hiring Sarah Dezes to lead the practice in France, based in Paris.
Gallagher said Dezes will structure tax insurance solutions for private capital funds and corporates, covering both M&A and non-transactional settings. The broker also noted her experience advising on tax risk in M&A transactions for more than 15 years.
Dezes joins from PwC Société d’Avocats, where she spent 15 years in the M&A Tax team and most recently served as Senior Director. Gallagher said she will join on August 17, 2026, increasing the PEMA practice’s presence in France and across Europe.
The move follows Gallagher’s earlier appointment of Charles Amblard as Senior Advisor in France with a pan-European remit to grow client relationships and expand the broker’s presence in Europe’s private equity and M&A communities.
Daily Market note: Gallagher positioned the hire as part of its broader Private Equity and M&A proposition, aimed at deploying tax liability insurance as deals and post-deal value creation needs evolve.
