University of Georgia School of Law professor Christopher M. Bruner was featured in Insurance Day, published by London-based Lloyd’s List Intelligence. The article by Ben Margulies, titled “Can the UK Capture Captives?,” discusses the UK government’s effort to create a competitive captive insurance regime.

Bruner shared his thoughts on the factors that make a jurisdiction attractive for establishing captive domiciles, suggesting that smaller jurisdictions can offer fast and flexible policymaking processes. Their small size “makes co-ordination much easier among all the relevant public and private constituencies and it renders their commitment to attractive regulatory structures more credible. They’re highly dependent on these service offerings economically and the market knows it.” London, however, offers competitive advantages in its own right. “London’s main advantage is the extraordinary breadth and depth of corporate and financial services offerings in one place,” Bruner explains. “It’s the ultimate one-stop shop, including in risk management, which provides a strong foundation in the form of pre-existing professional and regulatory know-how.”

Christopher M. Bruner is the Stembler Family Distinguished Professor in Business Law at the University of Georgia School of Law and serves as a faculty co-director of the Dean Rusk International Law Center.
