Insurance

As insurers grapple with the effects of financial market movements, the potential threat of terrorist attacks, increasing health-care costs, imbalanced medical-liability pain and suffering tort awards, the potential of a severe catastrophe loss, and the continued substantial losses stemming from asbestos and environmental tort claims not to mention the more recent intense legal scrutiny stemming from investigations by the New York State Attorney General’s office into industry’s practices that have reignited the debate of federal vs. state regulation of insurance—the need for sound and timely business advice is crucial and hard to find as they require specialized bodies of knowledge and skilled professionals.
