You can't fully understand the stop loss and reinsurance industry without considering the impact that its myriad consultants have on both insurers and underwriters. 

These consultants bring decades of experience to bear on behalf of their clients, and offer up a unique perspective on what's happening behind the scenes in our business. 

So in this episode of Firm & Final, we'll introduce you to three of the industry's foremost experts from the consulting side—Laurie Horan LeBlanc from Marsh McLennan, Andrew Peel from Mercer, and Carol Adams from Guy Carpenter. 

We'll discuss the current market dynamics, the challenges faced by stop loss carriers, and the appeal of the market to new entrants. As consultants in the industry, Laurie, Andrew and Carol will also share how they evaluate new providers and make recommendations to their clients, claims management issues, and the growing role of captives in the market. 

Finally, each participant in the conversation will offer advice for clients as they prepare for the 2026 renewals season.
