The acquisition of substantially all of the assets related to the commercial business, including program and wholesale brokerage business of the Orlando, Fla. operations of Braishfield Assoc. Inc. has been acquired by Brown & Brown Inc. The acquisition was announced jointly by Thomas E. Riley, Brown & Brown Inc. regional executive vice president and James J.
