About MacHua Millett

m••••••••@lockton.comI specialize in policy drafting, program placement and claims advocacy regarding management and professional liability insurance issues for private equity, venture capital, and hedge funds and private and public companies. I am responsible for overseeing technical insurance policy drafting for our General Partner Liability and portfolio company D&O books, as well as guiding private companies through the insurance aspects of the traditional Initial Public Offering (IPO), SPAC IPO, and de-SPAC processes. I am also a senior claims and coverage resource for our alternative investment fund and private and public company clients when they have a claims dispute. My background is as a general commercial litigator, securities class action defense attorney and insurance coverage lawyer. Before becoming an insurance broker, I spent ten years defending alternative investment firms and private and public companies against regulatory investigations, derivative and class action securities suits, general commercial lawsuits and insurance coverage actions at Bingham McCutchen, Skadden Arps and Edwards Wildman. I was born in Nicaragua, and grew up in Nicaragua and Costa Rica before coming to the United States. I graduated from New Lebanon Junior/Senior High School as a National Merit Scholar, summa cum laude from Tufts University, and Harvard Law School. I live outside of Boston, MA with my wife and two boys.

   My focus is to help organizations execute restructures, IPOs, and SPAC/De‑SPACs with less friction, greater certainty, and managed risk. By further enhancing our proven national teams and risk management capabilities, this means our clients will gain earlier risk discovery, tailored insurance coverage, and execution reliability from diligence to closing. This approach protects valuation and keeps timelines on track across high‑stakes transitions.
