The documents incorporated by reference are:

| |
ITEM 6. | INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS. |
Brown & Brown is a Florida corporation. Reference is made to Section 607.0850 of the Florida Business Corporation Act, which permits, and in some cases requires, 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 Bylaws, Brown & Brown is required to indemnify its officers and directors, and officers and directors of certain other corporations serving as such at the request of Brown & Brown, against all costs and liabilities incurred by such persons by reason of their having been an officer or director of Brown & Brown or such other corporation, provided that such indemnification shall not apply with respect to any matter as to which such officer or director shall be finally adjudged to have been individually guilty of gross negligence or willful malfeasance in the performance of his or her duties as a director or officer, and provided further that the indemnification shall, with respect to any settlement of any suit, proceeding, or claim, include reimbursement of any amounts paid and expenses reasonably incurred in settling any such suit, proceeding, or claim when, in the judgment of the board of directors, such settlement and reimbursement appeared to be in the best interests of Brown & Brown.
Under Section 9 of the Brown & Brown, Inc. 2010 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 for any action, suit or proceeding in connection with the Brown & Brown, Inc. 2010 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 Bylaw provisions referred to above and the Brown & Brown, Inc. 2010 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.
The following exhibits are filed as part of this Registration Statement:

23.1 Consent of Holland & Knight (included in Exhibit 5.1)
23.2 Consent of Deloitte & Touche LLP
24.1 Powers of Attorney
(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 Registration Fee” table 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 this 17th day of June, 2016.

Re: | Brown & Brown, Inc. - Registration Statement on Form S-8 |
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We refer to the Registration Statement (the “Registration Statement”) on Form S-8 filed today by Brown & Brown, Inc. (the “Company”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission, for the purpose of registering under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), an additional 1,200,000 shares (the “Shares”) of the authorized common stock, par value $0.10 per share, of the Company being offered to certain employees of the Company pursuant to the Brown & Brown, Inc. 2010 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Plan”).
In rendering the opinion set forth below, we have acted as counsel for the Company and have examined originals, or copies certified to our satisfaction, of: (i) the Registration Statement; (ii) the Articles of Incorporation of the Company, as amended to date and currently in effect; (iii) the Bylaws of the Company, as amended to date and currently in effect; (iv) the Plan; (v) certain resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Company in connection with the Registration Statement and the Plan; and (vi) certain resolutions adopted in connection with the Company’s annual meeting of shareholders. We also examined originals, or copies certified to our satisfaction, of such corporate records of the Company, certificates of public officials and representatives of the Company, and other documents as we deemed necessary to deliver the opinion expressed below.
In such examination, we have assumed: (i) the authenticity of original documents and the genuineness of all signatures; (ii) the conformity to the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies; (iii) the truth, accuracy, and completeness of the information, representations, and warranties contained in the records, documents, instruments, and certificates we have reviewed; and (iv) that there has been no undisclosed waiver of any right, remedy or provision contained in any such documents.
Based upon the foregoing, and having regard for legal considerations that we deem relevant, it is our opinion that the Shares will be (i) when the Registration Statement becomes effective under the Act, and (ii) if issued and paid for in accordance with the terms of the Plan, duly authorized, validly issued, and fully paid and non-assessable.
We express no opinion herein as to matters involving the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Florida and the federal laws of the United States of America. This opinion speaks only as of its date. We undertake no obligation to advise the addressees (or any other third party) of changes in law or fact that occur after the date hereof, even though the change may affect the legal analysis, a legal conclusion or an informational confirmation in the opinion.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement.
Very truly yours,
HOLLAND & KNIGHT LLP
