Everest hires new director to lead tax liability insurance practice

Everest Insurance, a part of Bermuda-based Everest Re Group, has added Yashar Jafari as director to the alternative solutions group, where he will lead the newly-formed tax liability underwriting team, based in New York City.

Jafari joins Everest after spending eight years in different facets of transactional and mergers and acquisitions tax law. Most recently, he held the position of director, global transaction tax at Alvarez and Marsal, where he was responsible for providing strategic and financial buyers with tax due diligence and planning advice. He also spent time as a mergers & acquisitions tax manager at KPMG and as a senior consultant of transaction tax at Ernst & Young.

Rob Clark, global head of alternative solutions at Everest Insurance, said: “We are thrilled to welcome Yashar to the Everest team. Yash’s experience in transactional and Mergers & Acquisitions tax law make him a strong and knowledgeable leader for our Tax Liability insurance practice, and the addition of underwriting capabilities in this space will further enhance our ability to meet the unique needs of our customers.”
