Daniel A. Rabinowitz

Daniel A. Rabinowitz provides clients in the insurance and reinsurance industry with strategic counsel on a comprehensive range of transactional and regulatory matters.

Over his three-decade career, Dan has advised on both the transactional and regulatory aspects of market-leading transactions in the insurance and reinsurance sectors. He has advised and represented clients in mergers and acquisitions and other strategic combinations, insurance company investments and capital strategies, reinsurance matters, capital markets transactions, insurance-linked securities, securitization and structured finance, reserve financing, pension de-risking, restructurings and reorganizations, structured insurance products, capital standards, and holding company and corporate governance matters.

Many of Dan’s matters involve first-of-their-kind situations or opportunities. In a rapidly changing regulatory climate, he advises leading insurers and financial services firms on “convergence” of insurance capital and asset management, permitted investments, insurance risk-based capital and other matters relating to deployment of capital.
