With years of healthcare litigation experience before arbitrators and juries, we offer the depth and breadth of expertise necessary to assist our clients through these challenging lawsuits.

Our litigators bring considerable knowledge and experience regarding the business of health care to every case.


REGULATORY COMPLIANCE AND ENFORCEMENT

We are uniquely positioned to represent health plans, health insurers, and other health care payors through the complicated regulatory and legal issues distinct to our clients, including licensing and compliance. Whether it is heightened government scrutiny or creative industry practices, we advise our health care clients to compete effectively in the complexity that is health care regulation and compliance.

The breadth of our knowledge and experience informs our advice in regulatory matters. Many of our partners have worked for government regulators and drafted the regulations that govern health care entities in California.  We know the industry and we know our clients’ business.
