Captive Formations

Comprehensive South Carolina captive insurance representation

The Captive Insurance Group attorneys at Young Clement Rivers, LLP advise large companies, including many Fortune 500 companies, risk retention groups, and others on all aspects of captive insurance in South Carolina. The firm was one of the first in the state to begin working in this area in late 2000 when legislation was passed allowing the formation of captive insurers in the state. The firm’s attorneys have assisted in establishing approximately 45 captives in South Carolina, including most of the Special Purpose Financial Captives.
