Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough LLP has recruited attorneys Kevin Doherty and Cynthia Wiel to its Nashville office.
Doherty has joined the firm as a partner and will practice in the area of insurance regulatory law, with particular emphasis on captives, RRGs, self-insurance funds, and other alternative risk vehicles.
In 2011, Doherty helped to rewrite the captive insurance law in Tennessee that allows the state to more aggressively attract captives and RRGs.
Docherty is chairman and president of the Tennessee Captive Insurance Association (TCIA).
Wiel, who will also practice in the captive area, joins the firm as of counsel. Wiel will also concentrate on insurance regulatory law, business law, healthcare law, and municipal utility law.
Wiel serves as the co-chair on the government relations committee for the TCIA.
"We welcome Doherty and Wiel to the firm and to our Nashville team and look forward to introducing them to our clients," said Larry Papel, Nelson Mullins' Nashville office managing partner.
"Their experience adds to the firm's regulatory and healthcare practices and provides depth to our scope of client services."
