Insurance

Overview


Insurance industry players face a myriad of legal, regulatory and business challenges, especially given the sector’s complexity and rapid evolution. To successfully tackle these challenges, you need legal advisors who understand the market—where it’s been and where it’s going—and have front-line experience advising on a broad range of legal issues unique to insurance.

Our Insurance team leans on decades of experience to provide unmatched advice across a broad range of transactional and regulatory matters and dispute resolution. Because we’ve “seen it all,” we often act as industry consultants: We help clients develop groundbreaking insurance and reinsurance products, leverage private equity and venture capital opportunities, structure acquisitions for optimal tax benefits and defend against “bet the company” claims, disputes and multi-state regulatory investigations and enforcement proceedings.
