Former Florida Office of Insurance Regulation (“OIR”) financial analyst Jeff Rainey has joined Colodny Fass in the law firm's Tallahassee office.
Mr. Rainey, who has served the OIR since 2006, most recently held the title of supervisor in the agency's company admissions unit, where he oversaw the processing of applications for permits, certificates of authority, and acquisitions among all types of entities regulated by the OIR's property and casualty financial oversight unit.
“Jeff's highly specialized experience analyzing complex mergers, acquisitions, demutualizations, conversions, and new company formations of property and casualty and specialty insurers is uniquely suited to the core insurance regulatory services of our firm,” said Wes Strickland, who chairs Colodny Fass' insurance regulatory and transactions practice group. “The knowledge he has gained as a regulator will immediately enhance our ability to provide superior service to our clients as they expand, both within and outside of Florida, and engage in mergers, acquisitions, and other strategic transactions.”
While at the OIR, Mr. Rainey also was responsible for providing technical evaluations of reinsurance treaties, reviewing financial statements, and providing technical evaluations of insurer operations.
A cum laude graduate of Florida State University with a degree in management information systems, Mr. Rainey held computer programming and related positions for the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and Smartronix prior to working at the OIR.
