Goodwin has welcomed Christopher Pizzo as a partner in its Financial Services practice, bringing with him significant expertise in captives, reinsurance, and insurance regulatory matters. Pizzo advises a wide range of insurance market participants — including captives, insurers, brokers and InsurTech developers — on corporate transactions, regulatory compliance, reinsurance structures and strategic risk matters. The appointment reinforces Goodwin’s position as a legal advisor to the captive insurance industry, with Pizzo’s experience spanning mergers and acquisitions, corporate finance, governance, and international regulatory engagement. Samantha Kirby, chair of Goodwin’s Financial Services practice, says: “Chris brings invaluable insurance industry expertise and a track record of successfully navigating complex regulatory and transactional engagements across domestic and international jurisdictions. “His broad experience in carrier and agency operations, reinsurance, captives, and related regulation will further strengthen our team's ability to deliver strategic counsel and results for our clients.” Goodwin’s Financial Services group supports clients across the insurance and financial sectors, including insurers, reinsurers, captives and their owners, investors, and financial technology platforms.
