In addition to life insurers, we also represent broker general agents, broker dealers, escrow agents and premium financing companies. As well, our national annuities practice has handled hundreds of litigation matters, ranging from suitability class actions to structured settlement transfer petitions. Our practice also includes regulatory and claims issues for long term care insurers, privacy and compliance issues under GLBA and HIPAA, 419(a) and 412(i) tax shelter issues, and class action litigation related to all of the above-described products and issues.
