Insurance

As the decades old regulatory walls between banking, financial services and insurance continue to fall, Seyfarth Shaw is helping insurance companies adapt to the resulting business challenges and opportunities. We provide insurance clients with focused, knowledgeable legal representation in all facets of risk management. Our firm has a long and successful history serving national and multinational insurers and reinsurance companies.

We offer coordinated, interdisciplinary counsel that draws on the legal knowledge and industry experience of attorneys from our many legal disciplines and practices. The firm’s corporate, securities and finance attorneys represent insurance companies in a variety of transactions, SEC matters and financing initiatives. We have extensive experience providing coverage counsel on claims filed under primary commercial general liability policies, umbrella policies, excess policies and professional liability policies.

Our tax attorneys assist insurance clients with a variety of tax planning and tax controversy matters. Attorneys from our intellectual property and health practices help insurance companies understand their legal obligations under various federal and state data privacy laws. We also help clients implement programs and processes that ensure HIPAA compliance and the security of personal information. Our labor and employment and employee benefits attorneys help insurance companies address the complexities of managing a diverse workforce that often includes far-flung individual employees and agents as well as centralized corporate personnel.
