The Firm: This firm continues to attract widespread praise from the healthcare industry and is lauded for its high level of expertise and experience in transactional matters. However, its remit extends to cover advice on regulatory and compliance issues including such as those relating to licensing and fraud and abuse. The group regularly represents clients during investigations and in any subsequent litigation. For example, it successfully defended Beth Israel Medical Center against a claim brought under the New York False Claims Act, which sought over $1 billion in damages based on allegations of Medicaid billing irregularities spanning more than ten years.

Sources Say:"These lawyers really know what they are talking about. Their suggestions are well thought out and always hold up."
