William Latza of Lemonade Group Inc.
After a distinguished three-decade career within the insurance practice of Stroock & Stroock & Lavan, William Latza took his first in-house position at insurtech startup Lemonade in 2016, a company he had worked for as external counsel since the year prior. Latza is renowned as one of the most experienced and knowledgeable legal experts in the insurance market, having advised a number of household-name industry clients on regulatory, transactional and wider commercial issues across his time in private practice.
His role at Lemonade sees him advise on a plethora of legal and regulatory issues raised by the company’s innovative technology platform, which uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to provide property and casualty insurance policies and decide on claims. Latza, while working as external counsel, played a notable role in securing licensing for the company’s operations from state regulatory authorities in New York and now finds himself tasked with advising on Lemonade’s expansion and inwards investment, such as its recently completed USD300 million Series D funding round.
