Welcome back, Beth Vecchioli.
The veteran lobbyist has rejoined the firm of Carlton Fields to serve as a Senior Director — Government Consulting. In this position, Vecchioli will serve as co-chair of the firm’s property and casualty regulatory group.
Before joining Carlton Fields, Vecchioli served as a senior policy advisor and member of Holland & Knight’s Florida government advocacy team.
A former member of Carlton Fields for nine years, serving as a government consultant from 2003-2012, Vecchioli advises clients in the areas of insurance regulation, lobbying, and financial services matters. She has extensive experience in the regulation of all types of insurance, reinsurance, and specialty insurance products.
“Beth has a skill set that will directly support our growing insurance practice,” said Steven J. Brodie, co-chair of Carlton Fields’ insurance industry group. “Her extensive regulatory and lobbying experience will be a tremendous asset as we continue to grow our national platform.”
Vecchioli also assists companies in obtaining licensure and in resolving regulatory issues in Florida and many other states. She also helps clients resolve regulatory disputes pertaining to investigations, disciplinary actions, examinations, and accounting disputes.
Her client roster includes insurers, reinsurers, mortgage brokers and lenders, as well as national computer companies.
As a senior level manager and regulator at the Florida Department of Insurance/Office of Insurance Regulation for more than 10 years, Vecchioli brings to Carlton Fields the benefits of her significant government relationships.
“This is like coming home for me,” Vecchioli said. “The strength of Carlton Fields’ bench in the insurance space is so attractive, as is its national reach. I’m excited about the leadership role that I will have and I look forward to continuing to build our insurance practice and take it to new heights.”
A frequent speaker on the latest trends affecting insurance regulation and legislation, Vecchioli has been a member of many professional and community organizations, including the Florida Association of Professional Lobbyists, Tallahassee Habitat for Humanity, the Florida Workers’ Compensation Joint Underwriting Association, American Cancer Society, and the March of Dimes.
