Self-Insurance and Risk Management Programs

We have worked extensively with our clients to analyze their insurance coverage needs, including professional, general and D&O liability coverage. We have developed and implemented self-insurance programs and trusts for our clients and we have worked with our clients to transition such programs as part of the merger/acquisition process. We have conducted comprehensive reviews of self-insurance programs and recommended appropriate changes to assure ongoing effectiveness.

In addition, we have advised clients in a variety of risk management matters, including assessment of situations which create the potential for severe loss, and have worked with clients in the development and implementation of risk management programs. As a result of the crisis in the medical malpractice insurance industry, we have worked intimately with our clients to develop strategies and programs to address malpractice insurance coverage issues and to navigate the myriad of fraud and abuse, tax and state insurance law implications.
