LONDON (28 July 2025) – Liberty Global Transaction Solutions (GTS), part of Liberty Mutual Insurance, has appointed Jared Lavinthal as Head of Tax for the Americas. He will underwrite insurance solutions covering tax risks of businesses in the Americas.

Prior to joining Liberty GTS, Lavinthal held senior roles at AIG and ASQ Underwriting. Before his insurance roles, Lavinthal worked for several years at KPMG and RSM as an M&A Tax Manager, where he managed tax due diligence and structuring projects for both U.S. and international acquisitions. His earlier career also includes experience as an Associate Tax Counsel focusing on inbound investments and as Law Clerk at the New Jersey Tax Court, assisting with state and local tax issues.

Lavinthal, who will be based in New York City, will report to Hilary Weiss, Head of Americas at Liberty GTS. Commenting on his appointment, Weiss said: “In today's rapidly changing economic climate, where companies must sometimes navigate a need to restructure, M&A activity, and evolving regulations, Tax Liability Insurance (TLI) provides a crucial way for businesses to protect themselves from unforeseen tax obligations. Tax insurance products are particularly appealing in a changing environment because they can effectively crystallize the cost of potential tax liabilities.

“Jared's deep technical knowledge and unique understanding of the subtle complexities involved in insuring known tax risks will bolster our regional tax liability insurance practice, enabling us to identify new insurable risks that help clients solve unforeseen problems.”

NOTE: Liberty GTS’ tax liability insurance (TLI) product is designed to meet our clients’ needs in de-risking their balance sheets for identified tax issues by transferring the risk to insurers. Our TLI underwriting team focuses on the facts, tax analysis, and commercial context that shape and inform the risk in question, in order to provide bespoke cover for our clients.
