Tampa Bay RIMS June 2026 Meeting

TOPIC: “Florida Insurance Market and Legal Update”

PRESENTER: Tim Stanfield, Shareholder with the Florida Government Law & Policy Practice, GreebergTraurig

SUMMARY: This session will provide an in-depth exploration of the evolving insurance landscape in Florida, where demographic shifts, political priorities, and regulatory frameworks intersect to create unique challenges and opportunities for insurers, policyholders, and legal professionals.

Participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of:

• Political Dynamics: State-level political leadership and legislative priorities play a pivotal role in shaping insurance law and market stability. Learn about recent legislative reforms aimed at curbing litigation abuse, stabilizing property insurance markets, and encouraging private insurer participation — as well as the political debates that continue to shape these policies.

• Regulatory Environment: Florida’s insurance market operates under a complex regulatory framework designed to balance consumer protection with insurer solvency. We will review recent regulatory changes, the impact of federal policies, and the evolving role of the insurer of last resort.

• Market Pressures & Emerging Risks: From hurricane risk and flood exposure to reinsurance market volatility and fraud prevention, we will analyze the legal and economic forces driving premium increases, coverage restrictions, and insurer exits from the market.

By the end of this session, attendees will have a clearer picture of the interconnected forces shaping Florida’s insurance sector and be better prepared to navigate the legal, operational, and strategic implications for their organizations.

We look forward to seeing you!
