Captive insurance companies have been used as alternative risk management vehicles by large companies for decades, and, increasingly, small to mid-sized companies are also discovering the benefits of forming wholly owned captives.  In 2011, New Jersey followed the lead of several other states and authorized the formation of captive insurance companies. This presentation will explore:  How Captives Create Value for Large and Small Companies; How Properly Structured Captives Can Enhance Tax and Estate Planning; How to Form and Manage a Captive; The Experience in New Jersey So Far.
