Richard Amoroso, an insurance recovery litigation attorney of the US law firm Polsinelli, has been elected to serve as president of the Arizona Captive Insurance Association (AzCIA).
Amoroso served as president and CEO of Republic Western Insurance Company for 10 years and as litigation counsel for U-Haul International for seven years.
He is admitted to practice in local, state and federal courts as well as the US Supreme Court.
“I am honoured to have an opportunity to contribute to the leadership of AzCIA at this important time in the organisation’s growth.” said Amoroso.
“There are many exciting opportunities ahead for AzCIA including the hosting of the 2016 Western Region Captive Insurance Conference.”
While Amoroso focuses his practice on reinsurance litigation, arbitration, and asset recovery, his background as a former insurance executive and a licensed insurance broker enables him to use his experience to assist clients in developing insurance programmes and strategies to protect their assets and balance sheets.
He continued: “The future for captive insurers in the state of Arizona looks bright and the AzCIA hopes to play a significant role in further developing Arizona as an attractive domicile for captives.”
