During the last
fifteen years, the service contract industry has substantially evolved, both
in the terms of industry participation and government regulation. In light
of our firm’s extensive insurance and general regulatory background, we have
the experience and history necessary to assist national service contract
programs achieve and maintain regulatory compliance.
In addition to serving as the general
counsel to both the Service Contract Industry Council and the Florida
Service Agreement Association, we represent numerous companies with regard
to service contract specific regulatory matters. We have aided companies in
securing service contract license or registration approval in all states,
where applicable, and have prepared detailed regulatory compliance action
plans to assist companies in identifying and understanding the current laws
and regulations applicable to this constantly changing industry.
The services we provide our service contract clients vary from a brief
understanding of existing state regulations applicable to this industry to a
full-scale compliance program including state licensure or registration and
an analysis of all service contract-related materials, including form review
and filing and administration contracts. Additionally, through our
representation of past and existing firm clients, we have established
contacts with the staff of each state agency charged with regulating this
industry, which have proven invaluable in securing regulatory positions or
resolving outstanding regulatory issues.
