Reference is made to Sections 607.0850 - 607.0859 of the Florida Business Corporation Act, which permit, and in some cases require, indemnification of directors, officers, employees and agents of Brown & Brown under certain circumstances and subject to certain limitations.

Under Article VII of Brown & Brown's By-Laws, Brown & Brown is required to indemnify its officers and directors, including an officer or director of Brown & Brown who is or was serving at Brown & Brown's request as a director or officer of another entity, against all damages, costs, amounts of liability and reasonable expenses incurred by or imposed upon such persons, provided that such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of Brown & Brown and, in the case of any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such person's conduct was unlawful.

Under Section 21 of the Amended and Restated Brown & Brown, Inc. 2019 Stock Incentive Plan, Brown & Brown is required to indemnify directors, members of the Compensation Committee of its board of directors, and any officer or employee of Brown & Brown to whom authority to act for the board of directors or its Compensation Committee is delegated against all reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred in connection with the defense of any action, suit or proceeding in connection with the Amended and Restated Brown & Brown, Inc. 2019 Stock Incentive Plan or any award or right granted thereunder.

Brown & Brown has purchased insurance with respect to, among other things, liabilities that may arise under the statutory and By-Law provisions referred to above and the Amended and Restated Brown & Brown, Inc. 2019 Stock Incentive Plan.

The general effect of the foregoing provisions may be to reduce the circumstances in which an officer or director may be required to bear the economic burden of the foregoing liabilities and expense.

| **ITEM 9.** | **UNDERTAKINGS.** |

(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Filing Fee Tables" or "Calculation of Registration Fee" table, as applicable, in the effective Registration Statement; and

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement.

Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-8, and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

------

(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions (see Item 6) or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

------

**SIGNATURES**

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Daytona Beach, State of Florida, on May 7, 2026.

Re: Brown & Brown, Inc. – Registration Statement on Form S-8

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to Brown & Brown, Inc., a Florida corporation (the "<u>Company</u>"), with respect to the preparation and filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "<u>Commission</u>") of a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the "<u>Registration Statement</u>") pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "<u>Securities Act</u>"), relating to the registration under the Securities Act by the Company of an additional 6,900,000 shares of its common stock, par value $0.10 per share (the "<u>Shares</u>"), issuable under the Company's 2019 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended and restated (the "<u>Plan</u>"). This opinion is being issued pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act.

In connection with the opinions expressed herein, we have examined, among other things, original counterparts or copies of original counterparts of the following documents:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) The Registration Statement and all exhibits thereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) The Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) The Amended and Restated By-Laws of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) The Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(v) The records of corporate proceedings of the Company that have occurred prior to the date hereof with respect to the Registration Statement.

We have also examined originals or copies of such other records of the Company, certificates and web sites of public officials and of officers or other representatives of the Company and agreements and other documents, and made such other investigations, as we have deemed necessary, subject to the assumptions set forth below, as a basis for the opinions expressed below.

In rendering the opinions expressed below, we have assumed: (i) the genuineness of all signatures (whether manual, electronic or otherwise) and, to the extent that a signature on a document is manifested by electronic or similar means, such signature has been executed or adopted by a signatory with an intent to authenticate and sign the document; (ii) the authenticity of the originals of the

documents submitted to us; (iii) the conformity to authentic originals of any documents submitted to us as copies; (iv) as to matters of fact, the truthfulness of the representations made or otherwise incorporated in the Registration Statement and representations and statements made in certificates or web sites of public officials and officers or other representatives of the Company; and (v) that the offer and issuance of Shares pursuant to the Plan will comply in all respects with the terms, conditions and restrictions set forth in the Registration Statement and the Plan.

We have not independently established the validity of the foregoing assumptions.

Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the assumptions, qualifications and limitations set forth herein, we are of the opinion that the Shares have been duly authorized by the Company and, when issued and paid for in the manner described in the Plan, the Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

Our opinion is limited to the Florida Business Corporation Act, including all reported judicial decisions interpreting such laws, and we do not express any opinion herein concerning any other laws.

This opinion letter has been prepared, and is to be understood, in accordance with customary practice of lawyers who regularly give and lawyers who regularly advise recipients regarding opinions of this kind, is limited to the matters expressly stated herein and is provided solely in connection with the Plan and no opinions may be inferred or implied beyond the matters expressly stated herein. The opinions expressed herein are rendered and speak only as of the date hereof and we specifically disclaim any responsibility to update such opinions subsequent to the date hereof or to advise you of subsequent developments affecting such opinions.

We consent to the filing of this opinion with the Commission as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement.

Respectfully submitted,
