In this GCP Short, produced in partnership with Alvarez &Marsal, we spotlight new arrivals Paul Phillips and Mikhail Raybsteyn as they build out a global insurance and captive tax practice at the firm.

The duo, formerly of EY, arrived at A&M at the start of April with Paul and Mike both appointed managing directors based in Dallas and New York respectively.

In a 20-minute discussion, they outline why they have madethe move to start a new global captive and insurance tax practice, their priorities for building a broader captive offering at A&M and observations on recent market events such as another 831(b) ruling against the IRS and Maryland’s announcement to conduct a captive market study.
