As a strong believer in the intersection of community, politics, and the law, Anne-Tyler is proud to offer her clients a well-rounded approach to their legal needs.  Clients' goals do not take a 'one-size-fits-all' form, and while one client may require complex litigation assistance, another may be best helped through a series of phone calls to state regulators in Frankfort.  As an experienced attorney and state policymaker, Anne-Tyler is uniquely situated to advocate for clients in whichever forum is suited to their circumstances and provides the most effective and efficient solution to their concerns.  Her active involvement in the healthcare industry, state and local government circles, and Kentucky business community ensures clients the experience of your own in-house counsel and the best possible return on investment for their legal budget.  

During her time at McBrayer, Anne-Tyler has represented a variety of industry institutions such as health benefit firms, hospitals and state regulatory agencies, including but not limited to the Kentucky House of Representatives, the Kentucky Department for Medicaid Services, the Kentucky Board of EMS, the Kentucky Fire Commission, Lextran, the Kentucky Board of Dentistry, and the Kentucky Board of Architects. Commonly provided services include: regulatory compliance; transactional healthcare; business planning and the negotiation of state and local economic development incentives; health benefit planning and compliance; non-profit entity and Board guidance, and statutory and regulatory drafting and tracking. Anne-Tyler also frequently assists clients with legal issues related to campaign finance, elections, and Political Action Committees.

Before beginning private practice in 2013, Anne-Tyler led the compliance department of a Fortune 500 managed care organization, where she served as a liaison between the corporation's statewide health plan and the Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services; led the preparation of materials for internal and external audits; researched legal and contractual issues that arose in the course of health plan operations; and facilitated the compilation, submission, and approval of statutory reports and communication materials. Anne-Tyler's experience in the corporate environment has provided her with a uniquely operational perspective and allows her to provide clients with advice that is not only legally compliant, but is financially feasible for your company. She has spent a great deal of time ‘at the table’ with the Commonwealth’s lawmakers and regulatory leaders and knows who to call to ensure clients' success in compliance with applicable requirements.

From 2017-2018, Anne-Tyler served the Commonwealth of Kentucky in a number of leadership roles, including as Senior Policy Advisor, Deputy General Counsel, and healthcare lead for the Kentucky House of Representatives; Deputy Commissioner for the Kentucky Department for Medicaid Services; and finally as Senior Advisor to the Secretary of the Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services.  Her experience and relationships within the Commonwealth’s primary healthcare agencies are vital to her clients’ success in navigating the often complex regulatory framework within which they operate.
