New general counsel for California insurance department

The California insurance commissioner Dave Jones has appointed Ken Schnoll as general counsel for the state’s department of insurance.

Schnoll brings over 30 years of experience in regulatory and transactional matters with health insurers and property and casualty insurers, including drafting legislation and appearing before legislative committees to testify and participate on both the state and federal rulemaking process.

Previously, Schnoll served as partner at Dentons US LLP, where he focused on insurance regulation and healthcare practices.

He replaces John Fiston, who recently left the department of insurance to return to private practice.

Jones commented: "Given all of the regulatory and legal issues that are a part of the department's ongoing regulation of insurance companies and insurance markets, Ken Schnoll's tremendous knowledge and expertise gleaned from over 30 years' experience in the insurance industry will serve us all well.”
