Assurant Inc. has officially named Jay Rosenblum chief legal officer of the New York-based global insurance firm. 

Rosenblum shed the interim top lawyer title he's held since February and moved into the role permanently Wednesday. He joined Assurant last year as senior vice president of government relations and regulatory affairs in Washington, D.C. 

"It's really given me a window into our team and our team's priorities," Rosenblum said in an interview, referring to his time as interim CLO. "Getting to know the knowledge and experience and what the team provides, I feel good about it. My immediate goal is to continue on that path. This is not a turnaround."
