Travis’ representations have covered the full range of insurers’ business cycles, from formation and start-up to withdrawal and wind-down. He has guided numerous new insurers through the formation process, including the organization of holding companies, managing general agencies and other related organizations and obtaining regulatory approvals from the Office of Insurance Regulation.

Travis also frequently helps insurers respond to regulatory inquiries or investigations and resolve issues presented by the Office of Insurance Regulation or Department of Financial Services.

The Florida legislature enacts far-reaching changes to the Insurance Code almost every year. Travis has worked with insurers to develop public policy strategies and in monitoring potential legislative changes, including analysis of legislative changes on insurers’ existing business or market plans. After each legislative session, Travis is engaged in insurers’ implementation of legislative changes and development of compliance programs to accommodate new regulatory requirements.

Over the last fifteen years, Travis has been privileged to represent the insurance industry through some of its most significant changes. These most recently have included issues such as reviewing the implementation for Florida’s mitigation discount program and assisting insurers in complying with Medicare Secondary Payer reporting requirements. Travis also has been involved in topics such as the use of hurricane models in insurance ratemaking, the use of credit scoring in insurance rates and underwriting, and OFAC compliance. With the cyclical nature of insurance markets and Florida’s ever-changing regulatory landscape, Travis works with the industry to proactively meet challenges that arise.
