Justin Liby helps insurance intermediaries establish, expand and maintain regulated operations across the United States. He advises third-party administrators, discount medical plan organizations, pharmacy benefit managers, adjusters, program managers, producers, managing general agents and other insurance service providers on licensing, compliance and related state regulatory matters.
Justin regularly organizes and manages national and multistate licensing projects, from determining where licenses are required through application strategy, regulator responses, renewals and ongoing compliance. He also advises clients when acquisitions, new business lines, changes in service models, offshore operations or relationships with insurers and other business partners create new regulatory questions. His work spans both the property and casualty and life and health sectors.
Clients rely on Justin as ongoing insurance regulatory counsel for matters involving TPA and adjuster licensing, discount medical plans, producer compensation and referral arrangements, electronic marketing and transactions, and other regulatory issues that arise as their businesses evolve. He also conducts national and multistate regulatory analyses designed to translate varying state-law requirements into a practical path forward for clients.
Justin brings perspective from several sides of the regulatory process. Before entering private practice, he worked for the Kansas Insurance Department and served as in-house counsel for a national third-party administrator. That background informs a practical approach focused on what regulators require, how clients operate and how to move business initiatives forward efficiently.
