'Modern Captive Insurance' Navigates Idiosyncrasies, Bombshells of Post-2018 Tax Reform Environment


FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., July 2, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Chief Legal Officer of Green Point Research, Light Townsend, has announced the launch of his new book, Modern Captive Insurance. The book, published by the American Bar Association, provides readers with an in-depth legal guide to creating economic efficiencies through captive insurance, within the legal boundaries of President Trump's 2018 tax reform.

Modern Captive Insurance is co-authored by Matthew Queen, in-house counsel at Venture Captive Management based in Atlanta. Townsend said he and Queen identified a void in the legal and literary space surrounding captive insurance strategies and information in the post-2018 tax reform world. They decided to provide business professionals with a straightforward, in-depth treatise to understand risk financing to maximize return for the business and business owners.

Townsend, with an LLM in Taxation from Northwestern and acting CLO of Green Point Research, is on the forefront of translating regulatory compliance, operational business needs, and company-wide strategic goals into compliant profit driving solutions. When asked about captive insurance in his current role he provided the following: "The legal cannabis industry has unique risks associated with its product as well as being in a highly regulated industry. Until education about the industry overcomes fear, we manage those risks in our day to day operations at Green Point Research utilizing all available strategies including those found in Modern Captive Insurance."

This book isn't only for highly regulated business' like cannabis companies though, "if you purchase insurance for your business, this book is for you," said Townsend. "If you'd like to better understand how your business decisions interact with your insurance coverage, as well as approaches to turn that insurance expense into revenue, then this book is for you."
