Overview
“Love What You Do” is on a sign in Libby’s office for good reason: she loves her work as a dynamic public policy advocate, lawyer, strategist and facilitator. Clients hire her to delve deep in the issues, devise a strategy and execute on many fronts. Libby works primarily on policies and issues confronting health and technology stakeholders, but she also touches the insurance industry. She has built trusted relationships with U.S. and international government agencies, law enforcement, and policymakers on both sides of the aisle. Libby serves on the firm’s board, which sets the firm’s direction, strategy and policy.
Much of Libby’s work relates to digital health — the intersection of internet, technology and health, including:
- Internet/ online pharmacies
- Pharmacy compliance and regulatory strategy
- Telemedicine / telehealth
- Compound pharmacy compliance – 503(A) and 503(B)
- Cannabinoid policy
- Opioid and substance use disorder issues online, including the Ryan Haight Act
- Pharmaceutical supply chain security and integrity, including the Drug Supply Chain Security Act
- Counterfeit, falsified and substandard medicines
- Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations and public policy
- International regulatory harmonization and capacity building
Libby is proud to represent a number of national organizations and coalitions on a variety of issues, including (but not limited to) the:
- Alliance for Safe Online Pharmacies (ASOP Global)
- ASOP Global Foundation
- American Telemedicine Association (ATA)
- ATA Action
- Medical Transportation Access Coalition
- National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP)
- Wholesale and Specialty Insurance Association (WSIA)
International Digital Health Consulting
Due to the internet’s broad reach, public health, patient safety and compliance with the rule of law are inherently global — and so is Libby's work. Libby counsels clients on issues involving governments and private sector stakeholders in the European Union, India, Canada, Asia and Latin America. She participates in global Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) meetings and working groups, engages in various forums within the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation's Regulatory Harmonization Steering Committee (RHSC), and often collaborates with other multilateral organizations.
Libby serves clients of Faegre Drinker Consulting as a consulting professional, and does not act as a lawyer for those clients. Separately, Libby serves other clients as a lawyer for Faegre Drinker Biddle & Reath LLP. She can help you decide which services are best for you. Learn more.
Legal Design
Libby uses her problem-solving skills to aid in the firm’s work with DesignLab, offering Design Sprints, workshops and applied design thinking to advance solutions. As a Design Lab Ambassador in D.C., she applies design thinking to client projects aimed at influencing the government and stakeholders through well-designed dashboards illustrating complex policy issues.
Personal Interests
An avid athlete, Libby enjoys regular morning workouts, the occasional round of golf, and cycling to and from Washington, D.C. In her spare time, she can be found playing with her son, catching up on TEDTalks podcasts or scuba diving.Related Legal Services
