Health Care
Health care and life sciences industries are adjusting business models in response to shifting consumer attitudes and increased regulatory pressures. Working with lawyers who thoroughly understand the critical issues facing the industry is an important component of a company’s ability to thrive in changing markets. Industry-specific issues include market globalization, Medicare and Medicaid reform, corporate consolidations and consumer-driven health care services. Further complicating an already challenging field, legal issues continue to shape these industries. O’Melveny’s Health Care practice provides comprehensive transactional and litigation counseling in areas ranging from mergers and acquisitions to intellectual property matters to large, complex trials. With our in-depth understanding of business needs and regulatory obstacles, we devise winning strategies that anticipate and resolve compliance issues or minimize penalties that result from violations. Among our successes are the US$1.9 billion acquisition of Vicuron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and the defense of Alvarado Hospital Medical Center in a record-setting criminal trial.
Key Facts
- Nightingale’s Healthcare News ranks O’Melveny 13th among the nation’s largest health care law practices.
- Many of our lawyers have served as in-house counsel to hospitals, managed care organizations, group-purchasing organizations, and home health care providers.
- Several of our lawyers have advanced degrees in a number of fields germane to the practice, including biology, biochemistry, molecular biology, genetics, chemistry, immunology, neurobiology, physics, medicine, and electrical, chemical, mechanical, and biomedical engineering.
- Our team of over 70 lawyers is able to serve clients globally, from offices across the United States, and in China, Hong Kong, Japan, Belgium, and the United Kingdom.
- Our ranks include a number of former governmental appointees, regulators, and prosecutors who utilize their “insider perspective” to deftly handle regulatory issues and disputes and to steer clients through related legislative branch inquiries.
- When corporate crises strike health care and life sciences companies, our seasoned crisis-response practitioners rapidly master case specifics and deploy class and mass action, regulatory, and enforcement resources to serve our clients’ bet-the-company needs.
