Mary's specialty topics

Legal Cases Regulation Compliance

Tez Romero is a Senior Legal Researcher at Key Media. Since joining the company in 2023, she has covered legal and regulatory developments across a range of industries and jurisdictions.

For Insurance Business, she reports on court decisions, newly filed lawsuits, regulatory developments, and legislative changes affecting insurers, brokers, and the broader insurance industry. Her coverage examines the legal, compliance, and policy issues arising from these developments and their impact on insurance professionals across multiple markets.

How I think about writing for this industry…

“I see the insurance industry as one that must constantly balance risk, regulation, and customer needs. Covering the developments that influence that balance gives me the opportunity to help readers understand not only what is changing, but why it matters.”
