In New York, practice co-head David Alberts ’ expertise spans transactions, M&A, and regulatory advisory work in the life and non-life insurance domains, and fellow group leader Stephen Rooney acts for issuers and underwriters in equity, debt, and hybrid securities offerings, and advises on corporate governance, director fiduciary duties, and M&A. Third practice head Bronwyn Pollock is based in California alongside Paul Chen, who is experienced in insurance transactions across the US, Asia, Latin America, and Europe. In the New York office, insurance and reinsurance stakeholders turn to Vikram Sidhu regarding corporate, transactional, and regulatory matters. Richard Spitzer is a key contact for structured finance transactions from catastrophe bonds and mortality bonds to sidecars, and Benjamin Kralstein‘s broad practice includes cross-border reinsurance arrangements.
