Andrew Jackson reflects on his experience starting and growing a title insurance business in Central and Eastern Europe over the past 15 years. He got the idea to enter the title insurance market after a friend suggested it in 2001. He partnered with First American Financial Corporation and sold his first policy in 2004. EU expansion that year made regulatory compliance more important and led to a joint venture with First Title Insurance. The financial crisis of 2008/2009 severely impacted transactions but the market recovered by 2011. Looking ahead, Jackson expects continued growth in Europe driven by increasing demand for insurance products to mitigate deal risks.
