Co-Founding Partner/Regulatory Practice Group Leader

Michelman Robinson has been a trusted partner to the insurance industry since our founding in 1999. With decades of experience advising carriers, producers, and investors, we offer business-forward legal counsel that addresses the complexity of insurance regulation, the risk inherent in high-stakes disputes, and the opportunities that come with innovation and growth.

We represent national insurers, regional players, MGAs, brokers, agents, reinsurance companies, and private equity investors across the full lifecycle of their business operations. Our attorneys handle everything from company formation and licensing to product development, marketing compliance, regulatory examinations, and DOI investigations. We routinely advise on add-on products, agent onboarding, and wholesale distribution frameworks—and we’re brought in to guide insurers through mergers, acquisitions, restructurings, and other transformational events.

On the litigation front, our lawyers have a long track record of success in class actions, coverage and bad faith disputes, subrogation matters, and insurance adjustment controversies. When risk can’t be avoided, we know how to contain it, bringing strategic insight, sector fluency, and a relentless focus on results.

Whether we’re guiding a startup through SERFF filings or helping a national player resolve successor interest issues, clients turn to us because we understand the regulatory terrain and the realities of doing business in insurance. That includes deep familiarity with evolving compliance obligations, from ACA requirements and SIU mandates to EKRA implications and marketing conduct standards.

At MR, insurance isn’t just an industry we serve; it’s part of our identity.
