He provides legal services related to errors and omissions defense, coverage analysis, administrative proceedings, and more. The conversation covers topics such as non-compete and non-solicit agreements, the importance of understanding insurance contracts in M&A transactions, and the pitfalls of partial ownership of a book of business. George emphasizes the need for agents to involve a lawyer early in the process and obtain a proper valuation before buying or selling an agency.
