Overview
O’Hagan Meyer’s Healthcare team represents healthcare entities and professionals in high-stakes litigation, government investigations, and regulatory enforcement matters across the industry.
Our clients include pharmaceutical and medical device companies, clinical laboratories, hospitals, nursing homes, long-term care providers, CILA group homes, physicians, nurse practitioners, physician’s assistants, nurses, emerging healthcare companies, large national providers, healthcare executives and professionals, insurers, and other industry stakeholders.
Our lawyers handle numerous healthcare-related matters nationwide each year. Immersed in the industry, we possess a deep understanding of the operational, reimbursement, and regulatory frameworks that shape the healthcare industry, enabling us to craft legal strategies based on our clients’ business actualities and objectives. We know how disputes evolve, from initial government inquiry through litigation, resolution, or appeal, and position our clients accordingly at every stage.
We represent clients across the full lifecycle of government scrutiny, including audits, subpoenas, and civil investigative demands, enforcement actions, and parallel proceedings in federal and state courts and before key agencies, including the U.S. Department of Justice, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and state attorneys general. We guide clients through sensitive matters where regulatory, financial, operational, and reputational risks are posed.
Our team regularly defends complex, high-exposure healthcare fraud and abuse matters, including False Claims Act and qui tam actions, Stark Law and Anti-Kickback Statute issues, FDA-related enforcement, reimbursement and pricing disputes, and consumer protection claims. We also advise on internal investigations, compliance assessments, and risk mitigation strategies designed to address issues early and position clients effectively in the face of government scrutiny.
We take a disciplined, proactive approach by conducting early, comprehensive case assessments, evaluating key legal and regulatory risks, enforcement priorities, and opposing strategies, and developing a tailored strategy for moving forward. Our team prepares each matter as if it will be tried to verdict, while pursuing efficient resolutions through motion practice, negotiation, or alternative dispute resolution when aligned with our clients’ objectives.
Where patients and residents allege injuries or wrongful death due to medical or nursing negligence, we represent the caregivers and healthcare providers. The members of our practice are highly experienced in defending healthcare providers and facilities in complex, high-exposure professional liability matters. Our attorneys represent physicians, nurses, hospitals, nursing homes, and long-term care providers in medical malpractice and negligence claims. These cases necessarily involve an injured patient and often a grieving family, and they arise within a framework of state rules governing how medical malpractice claims are filed and potential limits on recoverable damages. We also defend skilled nursing and assisted-living facilities in litigation involving allegations of negligent care, understaffing, insufficient supervision or management, or other theories. Our attorneys frequently serve as national and coordinating counsel for multi-facility providers, managing litigation portfolios across jurisdictions and ensuring consistency in strategy, efficient case handling, and predictable outcomes.
Across all matters, we combine regulatory insight, litigation experience, and industry knowledge to deliver practical, business-aligned solutions that manage risk, control exposure, and position clients for long-term success.
