Drinker Biddle & Reath has strengthened its insurance regulatory and transactional capabilities with the addition of Dan Brown as partner.
Brown is based in the firm’s San Francisco office. He was previously a partner at Dentons where he was a member of the insurance regulatory practice.
Prior to joining Dentons (formerly Sonnenschein), he was at LeBoeuf, Lamb, Greene & MacRae in Portland, Oregon, as well as London and San Francisco.
Brown represents insurance companies, agents and brokers, and other participants in the admitted and surplus lines insurance markets in the US.
This includes advising non-US insurers on how to comply with various state non-admitted insurance laws, and advising producers on licensing, placement and premium tax issues.
Neil Haimm, chair of Drinker Biddle’s corporate practice group, said: “Dan Brown’s deep familiarity with the California regulatory environment broadens our insurance capabilities beyond existing strengths in markets including Chicago, New Jersey, New York and Philadelphia.”
“He is a highly regarded member of the insurance legal community, both in California and nationally, who has previously worked closely with other members of our insurance team, including Mike Byrne, Tom Dawson and John Mulhern.”
