Law firm Dentons has appointed John Sarchio as partner in its insurance regulatory practice.
Sarchio will be resident in the firm's Miami and New York offices.
He advises clients on insurance industry mergers, acquisitions and financings, reinsurance transactions, self-insurance and captive programmes, and insurance regulatory consulting and compliance.
His insurance-related transactional experience includes insurance company demutualisations, reciprocal conversions, bank-insurer affiliations and mutual insurer mergers, as well as insurance securitisations, catastrophe bond transactions, reinsurance sidecar transactions, XXX/AXXX reserve financing transactions, and other insurance-linked securities transactions.
Sarchio has also counselled state and foreign governments on insurance issues and drafted laws and regulations governing various aspects of the insurance industry, including Vermont's Captive Insurance Act and the US Virgin Islands' Exempt Companies Act and Exempt International Insurers Act.
"We are pleased to welcome John Sarchio to our insurance practice," said Dentons US managing partner Mike McNamara. "His strong transactional experience provides additional depth to our insurance team while complementing our highly regarded regulatory and insurance litigation practice."
