Given the various state and federal insurance regulations, staying informed of recent changes in licensing is essential but cumbersome when trying to keep on top of the daily demands of running a business.

Pennsylvania Office of Market Regulation

The Office of Market Regulation under the Pennsylvania Department of Insurance ensures that insurance companies comply with federal and state laws. They conduct investigations, follow up on complaints, and audit any insurance company, agency, or producer that violates Pennsylvania insurance laws or statutes.

The department aggressively pursues regulatory and enforcement actions, even when the accusations may be unjustified. We represent licensees in examinations and enforcement, helping to resolve underlying issues to allow enforcement actions to be withdrawn.

Mergers, Acquisitions & Restructuring

Acquisitions are becoming more common today, whether due to a company’s desire for growth, diversity, or tax benefits. Acquiring another company is a delicate process that thoroughly examines each business’s core values and potential integration challenges.

Both state and federal regulations must be followed to the letter to ensure successful integration. With our experience in entity acquisitions, you can be sure that we will perform our due diligence to determine potential regulatory risks and develop practical solutions.

When to Hire an Insurance Regulatory Lawyer

Our regulatory insurance attorneys are experienced in mergers, acquisitions, and other transactional matters, including, but not limited to:

• Forming and licensing an insurance company
• Moving an insurance company’s primary location from one state to another (re-domestication)
• Resolving disputes between the Pennsylvania Insurance Department and other governmental agencies
• Acquiring another company or restructuring your current company
• Assisting in rehabilitation (returning a company to solvency) or liquidation (distributing assets for the benefit of policyholders) if a company cannot pay out claims. If the company is liquidated, an insurance regulatory attorney will follow through to ensure the debt is discharged with the bankruptcy court
