Regulatory and Government Affairs
CMN maintains a robust regulatory and governmental affairs practice for its financial services and life, health, and disability insurance clients. In these heavily regulated industries, clients are routinely faced with ever-changing regulations that present compliance and operational challenges. Our attorneys work closely with clients on a wide variety of compliance issues in order to head off disputes with regulators down the road. When government investigations challenge our clients’ business operations, we guide them through the process while vigorously defending and protecting them from overreach.
