Healthcare Litigation & Counseling Attorneys in New Jersey & New York
We advise clients on critical issues impacting the healthcare industry, counseling individuals and companies through complex matters involving compliance, internal investigations, dispute resolution, and litigation. We use the skills we have developed through years of high stakes litigation to bring practical insight to the challenging problems and opportunities confronting the evolving healthcare industry.
Our representations have covered the full spectrum of the healthcare field, working with hospitals, physicians’ practices, pharmaceutical companies as well as the regulators who investigate antitrust violations and fraud. Through this vast experience, we have worked closely with the Department of Justice, Office of the Inspector General, Food and Drug Administration, states attorneys general offices, and the National Association of Medicaid Fraud Units, among others, giving us a keen understanding of how those offices operate as it relates to their investigations, and their interpretation of federal and state laws.
We have guided clients through investigations involving billing fraud, false claims, kickbacks, Stark Law violations, off-label marketing, and other areas which may result in regulatory, civil, and criminal investigation and/or litigation. For clients seeking to proactively confront these challenges, our attorneys can provide comprehensive guidance on adapting and refining internal compliance programs and procedures.
