Captive Insurance Deskbook for the Business Lawyer

Many Fortune 500 companies, as well as mid-sized and small businesses and tax-exempt organizations, participate in captive insurance structures. To help lawyers decipher the intricacies of captive insurance, this guidebook begins with a discussion of types of captives and addresses how to approach whether a captive makes sense for a business owner.
