Transaction Advisors

Our lawyers manage complex legal issues in the insurance arena, from mergers to alternative risk financing. We regularly advise clients on staying in compliance with regulations, entering new markets, navigating securitization laws or creating effective online insurance ventures.  Our lawyers are your transaction advisors.  In today’s volatile market, regional brokers and carriers often align with larger firms.  Complex alternative risk companies are formed.  Insurers enter reorganization and regulators reshape the market.  At all stages of insurance transactions, the Insurance and Reinsurance Practice enables sound deals that achieve your business objectives.

Alternative Risk

Along with primary and reinsurance carriers, our clients include captives, risk retention groups, agencies, new online insurance ventures and financial institutions with an insurance presence.  Our lawyers have been instrumental in captive regulations on all levels, from penning provisions of the federal law to advising leading states on amending their laws to benefit all sides.  Partner Robert "Skip" Myers was named in the Top 5 of Captive Review's 2012 Power 50 List, making him one of the world's leading authorities on captive insurance.

Morris, Manning & Martin knows offshore rules and practices, and our veteran tax team counsels clients on a host of filing needs.  Formation of an alternative market mechanism – from domiciling a captive to structuring tiered coverage – can be handled with confidence by the thorough, informed legal team at MMM.
