Katarina Vickovic

Katarina Vickovic advises businesses on risk management strategy, alternative risk financing, regulatory compliance, and corporate governance, with a primary focus on captive insurance and healthcare operations. She counsels clients on the formation, structuring, and governance of captive insurance companies across multiple domiciles, including preparing corporate filings and supporting ongoing regulatory compliance for captives and their owners. Katarina also advises on key aspects of captive programs, such as insurance policy considerations, ownership changes, and operational matters.

Leveraging her healthcare background, Katarina is familiar with the regulatory frameworks affecting healthcare captive insurance companies and their owners. She has developed a deep understanding of liability issues arising from sexual abuse and molestation claims, as well as emerging risks associated with technologies such as artificial intelligence, and she evaluates strategic options for coverage and risk mitigation in those areas. Katarina regularly counsels captive owners and boards on corporate governance, regulatory compliance, and operational matters, including the implementation of best practices and ongoing compliance frameworks.

Katarina also supports clients through mergers, acquisitions, and other transactions involving captive insurance companies and both taxable and tax-exempt entities, conducting legal due diligence and identifying regulatory risks and compliance considerations. She advises healthcare clients on regulatory requirements that impact captive insurance arrangements, including HIPAA obligations and state-specific compliance regimes, helping align their risk financing structures with complex and evolving regulatory expectations.
