Insurance & Reinsurance
ArentFox Schiff attorneys are experienced in disputes as well as regulatory and transactional matters. We are at the forefront of modern insurance issues such as life settlements and alternative risk transfer (ART).
Our Work
ArentFox Schiff advises US and European insurers, reinsurers, and brokers on multistate licensing projects, payment of Federal Excise Tax, regulatory compliance matters, and investigations in a number of states. We counsel clients on cross-border acquisitions including difficult employment issues for public companies. We also advise US and international insurers and producers on compliance, Market Conduct Examinations, licensing, and surplus lines eligibility issues.
Our attorneys are experienced in crafting new forms of insurance and drafting reinsurance and producer agreements. We also conduct internal investigations and achieve cost-effective resolutions for claims practices by the New York Attorney General’s office.
Our Focus
ArentFox Schiff attorneys have extensive experience defending against first-party and coverage claims, bad faith claims, punitive damages, excess judgments, and third-party claims.
