Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP‘s New York office houses a flexible insurance practice that serves a diverse client base of industry stakeholders, from carriers to Insurtech companies and hedge funds, advising on various sectors of the industry, such as P&C, life and annuities, long-term care, and health care. A trio consisting of complex transactions veteran Todd E. Freed, M&A and reinsurance specialist Elena M. Coyle, and corporate insurance-focused Jon A. Hlafter leads the team that notably represented Mubadala Investment Company PJSC in its $15.5bn acquisition of Truist’s remaining stake in Truist Insurance Holdings as part of an investor group. Patrick J. Lewis’ wide skillset and Dwight Yoo‘s capital markets experience further strengthen the practice, and another key figure is Christopher Ulery, who navigates joint ventures, capital raising transactions, M&A, and more.
