Corporate Governance

Although the insurance industry is simple in concept—the premiums of many pay for the losses of a few—it is overrun with reporting, compliance, and regulatory challenges that limit consumer choice. Specifically, the team focuses on policy recommendations around risk-based insurance regulation, taxpayer subsidies, and the benefits of mitigation. Similarly, the Finance, Insurance, and Trade team explores government oversight and expansion into the financial sector, with particular focus on the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), as well as corporate governance and tort reform. The team also advocates for sensible food and beverage policies that balance consumer demands with public safety, along with labor and occupational licensing laws that facilitate economic growth and curtail unnecessary economic government barriers to employment.
