Amir’s previous in-house experience at one of the nation’s largest health insurers provides him with a deep understanding of the many issues and challenges that clients, in particular in-house legal teams, face on a daily basis. Amir’s in-house experience allows him to provide targeted and practical advice for his clients when resolving complex legal issues. While Amir was in-house, he represented the corporate acquisition team on due diligence, agreement negotiations and regulatory approvals related to the acquisition and divestiture of health and life insurance companies.
