Thomas Dawson

Practice Areas

Partner Thomas M. Dawson represents US and non-US insurers, brokers and intermediaries on regulatory, licensing, product development and corporate matters.

Tom advises industry participants on a wide variety of regulatory and transactional matters, including cybersecurity compliance, insurtech ventures and Holding Company Act filings. He has helped clients form, acquire and invest in US insurers, reinsurers and intermediaries. He counsels non-insurers on advertising, licensing and marketing generally, and provides regulatory compliance advice to service contract issuers and other specialty product providers.

Tom has guided non-US insurers and reinsurers in the London Market, Europe, Bermuda and Asia for more than 35 years, helping them obtain and maintain surplus lines and reinsurer approvals, as well as monitoring NAIC activities and state and federal legislation. In recent years, the regulatory status options for non-US reinsurers in particular have multiplied, and Tom has acted, and continues to act, for many non-US reinsurers that have established large US reinsurance trusts. More recently, Tom has represented non-US reinsurers that have obtained certified reinsurer status and that as of mid-year 2021 are now beginning to apply for reciprocal reinsurer status.
