Rising insurance costs have become a major challenge for real estate owners, investors, and developers, with some deals no longer penciling out as a result. Inflation, climate-related disasters, and broader market volatility have all contributed to premium increases and reduced coverage availability. At the same time, emerging factors such as social inflation and third-party litigation funding are adding further pressure to insurers and policyholders alike.
In The Property Line’s 75th episode, James O’Brien and Eric Greenberg are joined by Rebecca Woods, co-chair of Seyfarth’s Commercial Litigation practice, to discuss what’s driving today’s insurance market and how property owners can manage costs through stronger risk management, creative coverage structures, and careful lease negotiation.

SPE-lling It Out – Special Purpose Entities and the Corporate Transparency Act
Special purpose entities (SPEs) are frequently employed in commercial real estate transactions to mitigate bankruptcy risks associated with borrowers or their properties. To qualify as bankruptcy remote, these entities must meet specific requirements, such as appointing "independent directors" and "springing members." With the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) now in effect, mandating the disclosure of beneficial owners, SPEs must ensure compliance to avoid severe penalties for non-reporting or false reporting.
In this episode, Cameron Weil and Dustin Lauermann join Jay Wardlaw to explore the intersection of the CTA and SPEs and discuss how those affected can ensure compliance.
