Name: George Belcher
What he does: George focuses on insurance-related public and private acquisitions and private equity investments, as well as regulatory issues in the insurance sector. He also frequently advises on matters related to Lloyd’s of London.
Organization: Skadden
Words of wisdom: “Since Solvency U.K. is not regarded as equivalent in any respect, the question then arises how the U.K. will be able to influence and shape the IAIS in the future. It's possible that the U.K. will increasingly view the IAIS as a means of escaping or perhaps shaping EU influence.”
