Our firm represents an extensive range of insurance carriers and related companies. Our clients include property and casualty companies, health insurers, life insurers, health maintenance organizations, insurance administrators, insurance trade associations, warranty companies, managing general agencies, and insurance sales representatives.
We primarily focus on administrative and regulatory requirements applicable to these entities, and handle a wide range of matters including market conduct inquiries, licensing issues, acquisition applications, rate making, consumer complaints, and rulemaking. We endeavor to specifically tailor our professional services to the individual needs and budgets of each client.
We have assisted many new entities in licensure matters before the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation and the Department of Financial Services, including property and casualty insurers, life and health insurers, managing general agents, health maintenance organizations, automobile service agreement companies, home and service warranty associations and third party administrators. We have also assisted numerous entities in charting and reaching national regulatory compliance and licensure programs in numerous states.
Our work for the Service Contract Industry Council, the national trade group for service contract companies, has required our firm to work with insurance regulators on a national scope. We have met with insurance commissioners, challenged rules, and successfully lobbied for legislative law changes throughout the country. Our firm monitors all legislation filed which affects this industry across the nation.
We are honored to serve as General Counsel to the Florida Insurance Guaranty Association (FIGA), the legislatively created entity responsible for coordinating and paying claims of insolvent property and casualty insurers in Florida.
