Bob Shapiro handles corporate, securities, and insurance regulatory and transactional law matters.

Bob is an insurance attorney with comprehensive industry experience. He counsels on the regulatory requirements for property and casualty insurers as well as various types of life and annuity insurance products.

For example, Bob assisted the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) in securing reinsurance for the National Flood Insurance Program for the first time from the private market. He also served as counsel in FEMA’s first-ever issuance of a catastrophe bond covering flood insurance risks. Bob has also counseled the state of Florida’s insurer of last resort, Citizens Insurance Corp., in obtaining reinsurance from the private market as well as issuing six catastrophe bonds.

WHAT CLIENTS SAY

"Bob deeply understands our company, as well as our risk tolerances, and delivers the precise results we need."

MY CLIENT PHILOSOPHY

"I have been in private practice for over 40 years, and the one thing I learned to always keep in mind is that I am in a service business where responsiveness is extremely important. Yes, one must become expertized in the area of the law he/she is dealing with, but getting back to the client as soon as possible without running up a huge bill is incredibly important. This means resolving, if possible, the client’s issue in a quick and expeditious manner."
