Regulatory Compliance

One of the newest practice areas of our firm is the Regulatory Compliance Section. Charles Gowland recently left the position of Chief Counsel of the Department of Financial Services/Division of Insurance Fraud to establish this new practice area for our clients. For over 7 years, Mr. Gowland was responsible for the regulatory compliance issues affecting insurers in Florida in a number of areas, including compliance with SIU regulations. Mr. Gowland was responsible for drafting most of the laws in this area and developed the Audit Plan for the Office of Insurance Regulation to enforce compliance with the applicable statutes. Our firm can provide consulting services for insurers to review and audit their compliance, as well as to represent them in administrative proceedings initiated by the Department of Financial Services. As part of our services, we can provide guidance on the establishment of SIU plans filed with the State and the organization/training of Special Investigative Units required by law.
