Aon PLC and Willis Towers Watson PLC said they have agreed to terminate their roughly $30 billion deal and end litigation with the Justice Department, whicha Justice Department lawsuit last month
that came after an investigation of more than a year. The department said the insurance brokerages’ combination would eliminate competition in several different U.S. product markets, including brokering services for property, casualty and liability insurance, as well as health benefits for large corporate customers.
